Long standing concerns over raw sewage being discharged into Loch Leven have failed to persuade the Scottish Government to order a developer to complete an Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) for a proposed 160-home development in Kinross.
Perth and Kinross Council directed Miller Homes to provide an EIA concerning its designs to build the scheme on land north of the town’s Davies Park last year citing “potential capacity issues” at local wastewater treatment works.
The move came after reports from residents of untreated waste being discharged into the loch when existing sewerage systems that accept waste as well as surface runoff water are overloaded, particularly during heavy rainfall.
