Residents of Taman Golf in Ipoh have successfully appealed for the removal of a sewage treatment plant facing their homes.

A three-person panel of the Perak Appeals Board, led by N H Chan, allowed their appeal and ordered the Ipoh City Council to instruct the Royal Perak Golf Club to dismantle and demolish the sewage treatment plant within a month.
The city council had not properly served notices to all the residents, asking them if they have objections to the structure. Approval for such a structure can only be granted if neighbouring residents have no objections.
As most of the residents did not receive such notices – and subsequently complained about the structure – the approval granted by city hall was deemed ‘invalid’ and the judge ruled in favour of the residents. Full report in the Ipoh Echo here.
