Houses to be built on former reservoir in Chesham

May 24 2012 by Camilla Goodman, Buckinghamshire Examiner

Controversial plans to build a housing development on a disused former Veolia reservoir have been given the go-ahead by planners.

The six new houses will be built in Upper Belmont Road, Chesham, on the site of a former reservoir after gaining planning permission.

Critics have blasted the plans to build a housing development on the site while there is a water shortage.

Veolia sold the reservoir a few years ago because it was not profitable.
