Just adding onto this because I can't edit: it beggars belief that water supply would ever be a limiting factor for urban growth in England. It's preposterous that this is even an issue. Yes, Cambridgeshire is the driest region in the country, but that's only a relative thing! It still gets quite a lot of rain! Other countries have far less rainfall in absolute terms and they grow their cities just fine, because they build reservoirs and dams and water desalination plants. Nature has not forced this situation on us, we are simply choosing not to build things.
