Councillor Terry Parish has criticized the approval of housing developments despite Anglian Water's warnings regarding sewage capacity at the Heacham Water Recycling Centre, which is at maximum capacity. Anglian Water has objected to multiple planning applications, including one in Sedgeford, citing environmental risks.

The borough council has dismissed these objections, leading to concerns about potential sewage overflow as tourism rises in the area. Anglian Water plans to invest £280 million over five years to upgrade wastewater treatment capacity while advocating for a new recycling centre in Hunstanton to manage future growth effectively.
