Justification cited by Isopleth Ltd., Odour Impact Assessment July 2020

“Section 3.5 of the submitted ammonia report states that aratio of 80% indoor to 20%outdoors is being usedin the ammonia emission calculations,whereas the third bullet point then refers to 12% outdoor deposition. The correct split used by all regulatory bodies is 80:20. This should be amended to reflect the accepted split.

We have reviewed section 11.13 of the ES datedOctober 2020 by Berry’sand offer the following comments. Page 5of 7Section 11.13 of the ES refers to recommendations, mitigation and enhancement measures and water treatment and discharge methodswhich include some pollution prevention measures. We consider that the information provided does not address our concerns in respect of potential pollution of watercourses and a pollution prevention plan is required.”

NRW Response January 2021

“Councillors note that the only improvement, in relation to the highway, is for one lay-by to be constructed. In light of the above concerns, Councillors feel that this is not enough to ensure the safety and accessibility required and request that this be reviewed.Councillors are also aware of the increasing concerns across the County in relation to the pollution of our rivers for which poultry units have sometimes been blamed.
Some Councillors are concerned over the amount of poultry units within the area and the accumulative effect this may have on many aspects of the locality.
Trefeglwys Community Council reiterates its feelings on the exclusion of third party comments from the planning portal. Many local people are not aware that if they do not inform the Community Council directly then Councillors are not aware of their comments and opinions on applications and developments which make it harder for the Council to ensure that it is aware of and inclusive of all local opinions on such matters.
Trefeglwys Community Council again asks for Powys County Council to review this decision in order to reinstate the third party comments. Councillors did not feel that they were able to vote and fully comment on this development without the full knowledge of the feelings of the local community and would ask that the Community Council is allowed access to this information in order to make a full and representational decision which is inclusive of the whole community that it serves..”
