In Bad Odour: A practical seminar on odour nuisance and control
In times past, industrial “pongs†were a matter for music-hall jokes. Now they are anything but – they can create miserable living conditions for residents, generate vast volumes of complaints, and serious impede or prevent economic regeneration efforts.
39 Essex Street is offering a practical seminar on the issue which will be of interest to local authority lawyers, planners and industry.
Matters to be covered:
- LAW
- statutory nuisance – procedures and practical issues
- PPC and waste licensing
- planning control
- enforcement problems and tips
- SCIENCE
- types of odour nuisance and the problems they present
- dealing with complaints
- objective odour measurement and odour impact/planning conditions
- BPM and practical control
- case studies
