A new sewage works has been given the green light close to a recently approved West Belfast social housing development at the Kennedy Enterprise Centre site.
Concerns had been raised about smell and noise for potential residents of the yet-to-be-built estate coming from the waste water centre, but Belfast City Council said the impact would be "low level" and councillors approved the sewage works at its most recent full meeting of the Planning Committee.
The application, by Northern Ireland Water, involves a partial redevelopment of former Kennedy Way waste water treatment works to include the development of new mechanical and electrical workshops, storage, changing facilities and ancillary offices.
