I live in Splott and I live in a residential area.<br \/>\n\u201cIt is too small to delineate. The area is not big enough to talk about it as an industrial area that has no impact on the residential.<br \/>\n\u201cIf you come to Splott you will see what is happening is that we have a series of closures of railway bridges which mean that the traffic situation is unusually difficult.<br \/>\n\u201cWe are experiencing what I can best describe as traffic chaos over these bridge closures. This application should have minded to talk about the impact on this.\u201d<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\" wp-image-19262 aligncenter\"

company who runs the site, claimed that the plant is able to process more waste as the amount of energy it can recover from black bin bag waste is lower than originally estimated.<br \/>\nResidents raised concerns that the proposed changes would see an increase in the number of heavy goods vehicles travelling through the area, creating more noise, disruption and negatively affecting air quality.<br \/>\nA petition signed by 73 residents of Adventurers Quay, an apartment block situated 650m away from the facility, also claimed that publicity for the proposal was inadequate.<br \/>\nThe petitioners claim that site notices were not placed in visible enough locations, and were few in number.<br \/>\nIn his statement to the Committee, the petitioner, William Guy, a resident of Adventurers Quay, emphasised issues of inadequate public consultation and pollution.<br \/>\nFollowing the decision, Mr Guy said: \u201cI started the petition because I had received an email from the local council informing me of the expansion proposal by Viridor.<br \/>\n\u201cBy chance I found out, some weeks later, that none of my neighbours knew anything at all about it.<br \/>\n\u201cI also could see at that time that the only people who appeared to know anything about it was the local councillor Gretta Marshall and one of the people who works for an organisation next to Trident Park.\u201d<br \/>\nAn Environmental Impact Assessment accompanied the planning document and found that the proposed changes would not have any significant adverse effects on traffic, air quality, noise and ecology.<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\" wp-image-19264 aligncenter\"
