12 – Wastewater Treatment Works

Planning permission for the development of new Wastewater and Sewage Treatment Works (including sewage sludge management) or for the improvement or extension of existing Wastewater and Sewage Treatment Works will be granted where:

In the case of a new site, the need cannot be practicably and reasonably met at an existing site.
Biogas resulting from any anaerobic digestion of sewage sludge, will be recovered effectively for use as an energy source using best practice techniques.
