Old Swan Lane
Predicting the likelihood that odour from a wastewater treatment works could reach a new residential development
Predicting whether odour from a wastewater treatment works could reach a new residential development
Our client was planning a residential development on Old Swan Lane in Hailsham, East Sussex, England. Their land-use intentions were complicated by their proximity to Hailsham South Wastewater Treatment Works. There were concerns about odour from the wastewater treatment impacting future residents. Our team of air quality experts conducted an odour assessment using the AERMOD dispersion model to present the extent of odour annoyance by determining concentrations based on typical emissions data. We then prepared contour plots to graphically represent the dispersion of odour across the area.
