Environmental protection and pollution control
The Council will carefully consider development proposals that could increase pollution or negatively impact health and safety, including control of development near major hazard sites such as gas pipelines.
The Council recognises the link between the quality of our environment and the health and wellbeing of our population. As a consequence, the Council will carefully consider any development proposals with the potential to contribute to a rise in levels of pollution or that may negatively impact on the health and safety of our residents. There is also a need to control development in proximity to major hazard sites, such as gas pipelines, to minimise health and safety risks.
