I have no objection to the application but I do have concerns regarding the potential for odour from the present and any additional processes.
I have reviewed Odour Assessment Reference: 6430r1 dated 13th April 2023 and would be interested to know why no reference has been made to actual complaints received? NNC Environmental Health received 4 complaints regarding an 'eggy' odour (presumably hydrogen sulphide) between June 2022 and August 2023, which were all referred to the Environment Agency. Other complainants were referred directly to the EA without their complaints being recorded.
I note the complaint form but how will the complaint system be made available to the public? Many people do not wish to give their personal details or to speak directly to the source of the complaint, preferring to contact their Local Council or the Environment Agency as the Regulator.
Will their be an online reporting system? Will it be publicised or made available on the W4G website?
I also note the Sniff Testing Procedure and Recording, will a sniff test be made on receipt of an odour complaint?
