While no member of the public has lodged objections to the plan, and Cleobury Mortimer Town Council has told planners at Shropshire Council that it supports the idea in principle, a council tree expert has raised objections. In his submission to the council planners he said:"I am concerned that the development relies for its operation upon installation of a new sewage pipeline connecting the new treatment works with the existing facility some distance to the south-east.
It said the recommended method of installing the pipeline above ground would be"significant" to a group of trees. It says the proposed development of the site is"likely to significantly impact the visual amenity of the local area as a result of the proposed tree removal".
