A councillor's concern over discharge

A member said he could not support the application because it could discharge over 10,000 cubic metres of wastewater into the local watercourse.

“Alderman M Gregg stated that while he was reasonably supportive of the proposal, he was unable to support the application as it could result in over 10,000m 3 of wastewater being discharged into the local water course, and felt that the applicant should be proposing a much larger tank for the location.”
