Policy 25 outlines the concerns regarding environmental impacts such as noise, odour and other operational impacts and how these can be mitigated during development.

By discharging responsibility for relocation of the treatment plant to a commercial organisation for which cost will be a primary driver, it is likely that this will result in a revised location that will remain close to the existing waste water connections and just move these environmental impacts to a green belt location and alternative nearby communities on the city edge.

Furthermore, this is likely to then define the planning future for the preferred location. Again, this might be a 'means to an end' for the Draft Action Plan, but does not appear to be an integrated planning solution for the future.
