A council planning report has advised against approving a 1,000-home Barratt David Wilson Homes development in Cambridge.

The report states that the outline planning application for phases two and three of the Darwin Green development have failed to demonstrate that an adequate and sustainable water supply can be provided.

The Environment Agency has also opposed Darwin Green development due to concerns about the impact of increased demand on and abstraction of the water supply that will be created by the development of 1,000 new homes, a secondary and primary school and retail facilities.
