"That the Committee discuss, with the aid of a detailed report from the Manager, the role of the Environment Department in assessing  the consequences of building a Lidl retail store on a former landfill site on Greenhills Road (SD05A/0552), how the presence of potentially dangerous material came to the attention of the Council, the steps being taken to rectify it, the possible implications to neighbouring houses regarding odours from gas emissions and the steps being taken to rectify all aspects of the situation. The report should refer to the Council's understanding of the existing readings of critical measures from the site, where they fit within acceptable minimum and maximum tolerances and how potential risks will be managed in the future - in light of the fact that the boundaries of the landfill are not known. The report should also explain why these issues were not addressed in the original planning application (SD04A/0784)."
