A controversial plan to build a sewage pumping station has been approved despite a last ditch attempt to delay a decision. Cardiff Council's planning committee today approved plans to build a sewage pumping station at the Ty Mawr Road entrance of Hailey Park in Llandaff North.
The sewage pumping station will allow excess sewage from Plasdwr to be transported to Cardiff Wastewater Treatment Works via an existing sewage system. A final effort was made from Llandaff North Residents Association, backed by their ward members, Senedd members and the local MP, to defer the decision due to the addition of new documentation to the application in recent weeks.
Those opposed to the application argued that members of the public should be afforded more time to digest the information in these new documents. The documents include an amended report and a screening opinion, which assesses the need for an environmental impact assessment (EIA). A decision on the sewage pumping station was deferred in April this year in order for a site visit to take place.
