PLANS for a sewage treatment plant have been submitted.

A 60-year-old house, which was located at Oakwood Farm, Steplake Lane, Sherfield English, was recently demolished and replaced by a brand new five bedroom detached dwelling.

It has been successfully served by a drainage tank up until now.

Due to the new house, plans have been lodged to Test Valley Borough Council to replaced the tank with a new sewage tank facing away from the dwelling.

Appropriate drainage will be installed to lead the sewage into an existing stream.

A small concrete patio will cover the tank to prevent weed growth.

The proposal will go ahead of planning chiefs on Thursday, May 7.
