While the campaign group was raising funds for the judicial review, it has now dropped those plans.A statement from the Save Honey Hill group said its legal team had sent a pre-action letter to the government, but following receipt of the secretary of state's response, concluded pursuing the review would incur costs but "might lead to a negligible outcome".It stated: "Our KC (King's Counsel) noted that the strength of the secretary of state's response demonstrated that his legal team had likely anticipated the grounds on which we might launch a JR (judicial review) early on and that his DCO (development consent order) decision letter was crafted so as to minimise the risk of a successful challenge."The group said it would continue to engage with Anglian Water, parish councils and other stakeholders and "do our best to ensure that mitigating the detrimental effects of this project on our communities is at the forefront of their minds at all times". Land at the current plant site near Milton is set to be redeveloped as part of the North East Cambridge development, which is proposed to include about 8,000 new homes and new commercial government has committed £277m to build the new sewage works and the overall cost has been estimated at £400m.
