I object to the proposal, and object that it is considered a 'light
industrial facility'. The smell, vapour, and fumes will interfere with
the amenity of the neighbourhood and many residents which means it is
not to be considered as "light industrial" The proximity of Sensitive
Residential Receptors reported in Appendix P "Air Quality Impact
Assessment" ( page 9) is wrong, and assumptions of Wind directions are
wrong and must be disputed. In short, + ***distance of residential
properties*** ( many in Horningsea Park - east of site - opposite side
of Cowpasture rd) is closer to everyday operational emission of
VOCs/storage tanks than stated in the report. These residents were not
considered as 'Sensitive Residential Receptor' - they should BE. These
residents will be affected by smell, fumes, and vapour VOCs. See
attached pdf. + *** Impact of air emission , report states is based
'primarily on Wind speed & direction.'*** I don't think Wind
observations obtained from Badgerys creek AWS (11km away!!) can be an
accurate/reasonable representation of wind directions of Bringelly
Road Business Park location as report claims. Too many residents &
childcares (on Stuart rd) within 500m circumference of storage tanks
and VOCs. See second attached pdf. I can foresee many complaints &
sickness from childcare kids & residents from bad fume smells as fumes
are "anticipated"
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Any mention of word report in description REFERS TO PDF "Appendix P_
Air Quality Impact Assessment" * Distance of Residential properties
The report identifies 2 `Sensitive resident Receptors' closest to the
Development Site boundary. NOTE location of "boundary" site & location
of "raw material storage & blending" are 2 different areas. Therefore
the method in choosing 'Sensitive Residents Receptors' should be based
on distance from the Blending and filling location which is to operate
during the Operational phase .Looking at attached pdf shows the
residents in Horningsea Park are the same distance as the 2 residents
identified by SLR Consulting Pink circle shows residents which are in
same circumference as the identified properties. These residents are
too close & should be notified. Report contradicts itself, saying on
page 7 "raw material storage and production ...bulk storage area
proposed to be located at the northwestern end of Lot 8, further away
from the closest resident receptors". But in actual fact the closest
resident receptor is measured from its boundary and not storage area.
Therefore residents in Horningsea Park should be consulted too. As
report states on page 10 that there will be smells, vapour, fumes ,
"During operations in the warehouse, emissions of volatile organic
compounds (VOCs) and associated odour are anticipated, due to
evaporative losses during blending, filling as well as working and
standing losses from the storage tanks". Therefore it is known that
the vapours will be present, and that the wind will pass the smell to
all surrounding residents - this totally against what a Light Industry
is as stated by Masud Hasan - Executive Planner of Liverpool City
Council. * Validity of Wind Report mentions on page 9 that "The impact
of air emissions upon nearby sensitive receivers is dependent on the
prevailing meteorological conditions (primarily wind speed and
direction) but also the distance from the source to the receiver and
any mitigation between the source and receiver" The report on page 11
is making assumptions that the wind conditions in Badgerys Creek AWS (
11 km away) is the same as the wind in Horningsea Park/West Hoxton.
"Considering the relatively flat terrain between Development Site and
Badgerys Creek AWS, it may be assumed that the wind conditions
recorded at the Badgerys Creek AWS are a reasonable representation of
the wind conditions experienced at the Development Site." This should
be disputed too. Should not make assumptions or make reasonable
representations when there are over 100 houses & 3 childcares within a
500 metre circumference of the storage site.
