Plasgran Update - 18 March 2026

Since our last update we have continued to carry out regular odour assessments and site visits as part of our regulatory work. Fly levels on site are being effectively managed, and we currently have no concerns. Although odour reports decreased over the winter we have received 112 reports so far this year, including 26 in March (as of 16 March).

In our previous update we confirmed that we had audited the Wastewater Treatment System and other potential odour sources. The operator, supported by a specialist contractor, agreed to complete the required assessments by 30 November 2025. Although the reports were submitted on time, the information did not meet our requirements, and we therefore issued an Enforcement Notice as the next step in our enforcement process.

The Notice required the operator to set out detailed actions to further assess and address odour issues and to evaluate how liquids would be contained in the event of plant failure.

Plasgran Ltd has now complied with all the requirements of the Notice. A plan is in place to identify odour sources and reduce them.
