The Christchurch City Council granted resource consent covering issues such as noise, traffic and hours of operation for the proposed plant in 2018. The consent application currently with ECan is only for activities resulting in discharge to air. It ran a limited notified consent process, which meant only people within 500m of the proposed facility had a chance to have their say.
