OK found it thanks. I have read it and really cannot see what all the fuss is about. There is 1 objection, the HRA.
In the document it states
"Previously the planning application for the initial well tests WSCC/040/17/BA contained a HRA within section 10 of the environmental report, which was reviewed by ourselves. We accepted that this previous HRA sufficiently assessed possible issues relating to groundwater quality.
The current proposal though is for a longer duration and larger scope than the previous application. As such in line with the previous application we would require an equivalent/updated HRA, which accounts for the existing proposal. ".
So they need an updated HRA, pretty simple imo.
The other 'objections' are not objections but 'Advice to Applicant"
All Angus have to do here is agree to take note of the 'advice' and act on it. It is not an objection. Pretty much like having an MOT, you fail on some things and get 'advisories' on others.
The head of the document also reads :
"Although we have no objection in principal to the proposed development, we currently object to the planning application as submitted due to insufficient information."
So they simply need to update the HRA which is probalby why the company have not commented. It will probably have already been sorted. IMO.
This looks to me like the ENvironment Agency just covering their backs.
