Q. What is your provision for sewerage?

A. We are currently proposing a packaged sewage treatment plant for the site if we were going it alone. If we joined up with WPG then we would combine to use the mains sewer provision. A packaged sewage plant would clean the water and then discharge into the water course.

Q. But isn't the area already flooded?

A. No there is surface water as everywhere at the moment but this area is not considered by the Environment Agency as a flood risk.

Q. What did the Environment Agency say about your proposal to discharge into the water course?

A. The Environment Agency always prefer to use mains sewerage but a modern sewage treatment plant can be used where such mains provision isn't available.
