Professional Planning Objection – Lichfield, Birmingham – Into<\/h2>\n

A residents group from the village of Little Hay, Lichfield approach SWEL with concerns raised regrading the construction of a very large chicken factory, which was proposed to be within 500 meters of various residential and commercial properties.<\/p>\n

Professional Planning Objection – Lichfield, Birmingham – Odour <\/h2>\n

Supporting documents submitted with the application showed that odour in particular was at very low levels, and would not affect surrounding properties, however remodelling of odour emissions by SWEL showed a very different picture.   <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

Professional Planning Objection – Lichfield, Birmingham – Dust <\/p>\n

The dust impact assessment submitted with the application did not consider PM2.5 particulates, There is a wealth of evidence on the effects of short-term exposure to PM10<\/sub> on respiratory health, but for mortality, and especially as a consequence of long-term exposure, PM2.5 <\/sub>is a stronger risk factor than the coarse part of PM10<\/sub><\/b> <\/sub>(particles in the 2.5\u201310 \u03bcm range). All cause daily mortality is estimated to increase by 0.2\u20130.6% per 10 \u03bcg\/m3 of PM10<\/sub>. Long-term exposure to PM2.5<\/sub>is associated with an increase in the long-term risk of cardiopulmonary mortality by 6\u201313% per 10 \u03bcg\/m3 of PM2.5<\/sub> [1]<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a><\/sup>.<\/span><\/p>\n

 So it was felt important that the inadeqaucy of the assessment was brought to the attention o the planning authority.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span>Professional Planning Objection – Lichfield, Birmingham – Pathogens<\/h2>\n

<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
And so though out the application we saw the continued understatement of environmental impacts on a local level, and in some cases there were impacts that had not been considered at all.Such as risk from air bourne pathogens (figure 1).<\/div>\n
