Decision delayed on sewage pumping station in Cardiff park amid fears of pollution and foul odours

A decision has been delayed on whether to grant planning permission for a new sewage pumping station in a park in Cardiff.

Welsh Water is planning to build the pumping station in Hailey Park, in Llandaff North, to accommodate the extra pressure on sewers of thousands of new homes built in the north-west of the city.

But local residents and councillors have raised concerns about smelly odours potentially coming from the pumping station, the impact on local wildlife in the park, and the risk of any pollution into a nearby river.
