Proposal PROPOSED PYROLYSIS PLANT AND WASTE TO ENERGY (WTE) FACILITY BY WAY OF REPLACEMENT TO PREVIOUSLY APPROVED RENEWABLE ENERGY FACILITY, TO INCLUDE ASSOCIATED INFRASTRUCTURE, ACCESS, PARKING AND LANDSCAPE, TOGETHER WITH THE RETENTION OF THE CURRENT WASTE PROCESSING FACILITIES (PART RETROSPECTIVE)
Recommendation Summary:
APPROVE SUBJECT TO CONDITIONS
SITE AND SURROUNDINGS
1 The overall application site operated by AB Waste is on the former Bloomfield
Recycling site, a major waste recycling facility of some 3.1 hectares in area,
accessed off Bloomfield Road, Tipton. The site is adjoined by industry on most
sides except to the south west where it adjoins the West Coast main railway line
and a disused railway embankment to the east. Beyond the west coast railway is
the Birmingham Canal with industrial premises located off Bean Road further away.
A small part of the site access and visitor car park is adjoined by residential
properties in Lilac Avenue. Residential properties in Lilac Avenue and further south
in Bloomfield Terrace are located in Sandwell Metropolitan Borough and are
screened from the site proper, by the former railway embankment.
2 The site access onto Bloomfield Road in Sandwell, also serves South Staffordshire
Industries to the north which refurbish and fill gas cylinders. To the north of the site
access is a petrol filling station and on the opposite side of the highway are
residential apartments. An electricity sub-station is located adjacent to the site
access in the north east corner of the site.
3 The site is principally a waste processing and transfer station that handles and
processes building demolition material including concrete, timber, vegetation and
brick. A number of separate processes take place on the site producing high-grade
aggregates, soil-making material, the batching and transfer of green waste and
wood chipping. The site also previously operated a concrete batching plant that is
the principal location of the current application.
4 Brick and concrete leaves the site as hardcore, blocks and/or gravel. The processed
timber leaves the site as wood pellets which can be used as fuel. Green waste is
batched into larger consignments to be processed off site.
5 Within the overall site are a number of buildings, including office accommodation,
garaging for repairs to plant and machinery, a concrete/brick process building, a
weighbridge, and a large open fronted building which backs onto to the West Coast
Mainline used for the storage and processing of waste. The open front allows
access for plant, machinery and delivery vehicles. Two areas within the site are
utilised for open storage with demolition timber being located to the south in front of
the open building and soils being located in the north-west adjacent to the West
Coast main line.
6 The specific location and extent of the current development site is to the south
western boundary of the overall site, being of some 0.925 ha in area. This section of
the overall site accommodates the former concrete batching facility and an area that
was previously used for the storage of unprocessed soils and aggregates.
7 The current site operates by virtue of planning approvals governing the permitted
uses and hours of operation, however it is the Environmental Permit issued by the
Environment Agency which specifically covers the amount and specific activities
permissible within the waste transfer activities currently undertaken at the site.
PROPOSAL
8 This planning application is for the development of a pyrolysis plant and a waste to
energy (WTE) facility and associated infrastructure to include access, parking and
landscaping improvements together with the retention of the existing waste
processing facilities at the former Bloomfield Recycling site. The site is that of a
previous planning approval for a much larger renewable energy facility approved
under P15/0685 in 2015, which was mainly located in the west of the development
site.
9. The application site currently operates through Environmental Permits issued by the
Environment Agency, to treat up to 225,000 tonnes per annum (TPA) of mixed and
demolition waste. The previously approved planning application (P15/0685) also
identified a further feed stock source from existing waste treatment facilities at
Chimney Road in Sandwell. The previously approved application was only partially,
and not formally implemented through site clearance, landscaping and the
refurbishment of offices and buildings.
10. The current applicant, High Energy Fuels, has developed a patented new technology
of parent company (REWS UK PLC Group), to produce torrefied wood pellets,
synthetic gas and electricity production. The proposed pyrolysis plant mainly
focuses on producing high calorific value torrefied solid fuels by pyrolysis of waste
biomass refuse derived feedstocks (RDF). The torrefied wood pellets will be bagged
and exported off site to power stations for electricity generation. The process will
also produce a by-product of clean synthetic gas (syngas) which will be used to
power a large capacity on-site electricity generator that can feed back into the grid
via a large electricity sub-station that is located adjacent to the site.
11. The application seeks a proposed level of input some 180,000 tonnes per annum
(TPA) of waste material (feedstock), namely wood and Refuse Derived Fuel (RDF)
sourced from the adjacent waste processing facility and general market. Any carbon
based material can be used in this process and thus, it is capable of utilising a
range of mixed wastes.
12. In terms of renewable energy generation, the proposed development has the
potential to export up to 6MWe (Megawatt electric) which is higher than the
previously approved scheme (P15/0685) and could can potentially power
approximately 5400 homes and with the correct additional infrastructure in place, it
could produce 28MWt (Megawatt thermal) thereby, heating up to 2100 homes. The
project can form part of a national strategy to promote high efficiency advanced
thermal technologies to cleanly convert waste to electricity and heat, with negligible
emissions, at a scale which can be deployed in local areas.
13. The main pyrolysis plant infrastructure including the heat recovery boiler, pyrolysis
unit, pumps, cyclone furnace, syngas treatment plant and false draught fan are
located within a retained building formerly used as a concrete processing facility.
The pyrolysis infrastructure is installed.
14. Additional development outside the former concrete processing building will include
a material hopper to be fed by a mechanical grab operating from the adjoining
processing site, a conveyor and bagging system for torrefied fuels, a palletised fuel
storage area, the generator engine and extract stack. The proposed stack height will
be 29.4m high (being 4.4m higher than the previously approved scheme and will be
located adjacent to the main pyrolysis plant building. As part of visual mitigation
measures, the stack is finished in a light cream colour and the main pyrolysis plant
building in a mid-grey colour. Associated infrastructure such as ancillary plant and
equipment is sited either adjacent or in close proximity to the main pyrolysis plant
building or near to site boundaries next to the previously permitted screen bunds.
15. Essentially the proposed facility will utilise commercial and industrial waste and
provide a method of recovering maximum value from existing waste which
otherwise would be directed to landfill and will generate sustainable alternative to
fossil fuels and primary resources. In simple terms, batches of waste are fed into the
pyrolysis unit and are rapidly heated (in seconds) to high temperature to start
production of the torrefied pellets. Gas and vapour given off by the process is then
superheated to purify the gas and remove any contaminants which are converted to
base elements by the process. The base elements such as heavy metals can be
then be recycled off site and the purified gas (syngas) utilised and stored to run the
large electricity generator. Hot torrefied waste is cooled through a heat exchanger
and converted into high energy pellets to be shipped off-site for use in the power
generating industries. Heat produced by the process and generators could also
potentially be used in district heating schemes via heat connection points.
16. The facility is indicated to produce negligible emissions and assist in meeting the
requirements of the EU landfill directive which sets challenging targets to reduce the
amount of waste to landfill. The proposed development is also indicated to employ
approximately 10 new members of staff and will have utilised local engineering
companies in the commissioning stage.
17. As indicated above, the vast majority of plant and equipment is accommodated within
the envelope of the former concrete batching plant structure. Therefore, the only
element of the facility visible from outside the application site will be the extract
chimney stack, viewed in the context of the surrounding industrial premises and
buildings. The new material input hopper, torrefied pellet conveyor and bagging
facility, electricity generator and gas storage facilities will all be at a lower level than
surrounding buildings. The layout of the proposed facility is most clearly shown on
Drawing BL1134-D2-1.
18. Although the facility will operate on a 24 hour basis, deliveries will be limited to
between the hours of 7 am to 7 pm Monday to Friday and 7am to 1pm on Saturday,
with no deliveries to the site on Sunday or Public Holidays. Heavy goods vehicles
(HGV’s) will access the site from Bloomfield Road through the existing weighbridge
area to deliver waste products to site as at present. Within the proposed
development site HGV access and circulation are provided for upon a concrete
hardstanding area for despatch of palletised fuel pellets.
19. The application is accompanied by an Environmental Statement, Air Quality
Assessment, Noise Assessment, Planning Statement, Transport Statement, Global
Warming Potential Assessment and a Landscape and Visual Impact Assessment.

PUBLIC CONSULTATION
21. Notification letters have been sent to 40 surrounding properties in Dudley and
Sandwell, with a site notice and an advert being placed in the Express and Star. As
a result of such publicity, no observations or objections have been received.
22. In addition to statutory publicity, the applicant has undertaken a local consultation
event following leafleting of business and residential premises within a 500m radius
of the site and written notification of local Dudley and Sandwell ward councillors, no
objections were received.
OTHER CONSULTATION
23. Head of Planning and Development (Highway Engineer): No objection
24. Head of Environmental Health and Trading Standards:
There are no adverse comments with respect to air quality.
This application is for a pyrolysis plant and waste to energy facility at the Bloomfield
Road site which currently hosts a number of existing waste activities. The
application is retrospective insofar as plant has been installed and has been
operational for the purpose of test runs. The waste processing operations and all
potential emissions from the site are subject to regulation by the Environment
Agency under an Environmental Permit and an associated suite of Permit
conditions. It is understood that test runs of the plant have been undertaken with
relevant permissions from the Environment Agency, although the finalised Permit is
yet to be issued. There is some overlap between the matters that are addressed by
the Environment Agency Permit and those that might require addressing through
the planning process.
A previous planning consent (P15/0685) was granted in May 2015, allowing the
development of a renewable energy facility, which shared many characteristics with
the current application. A number of conditions were requested from ESH in respect
of that application and subsequently attached as conditions to control noise arising
from the site. The Noise Impact Assessment by SLR (08456) submitted with the
current application does not satisfactorily predict that the current proposal would
meet the requirements of a BS4142 noise condition; however, the report assumes
worst case scenarios based upon noise data that may not be representative (to the
disadvantage of the applicant) and does not include noise mitigation measures that
might otherwise predict compliance with such a condition. The implications of the
reports shortcomings have been discussed with both the applicant and the agent,
who are confident that a BS4142 noise condition can be adhered to and they are
happy to accept this condition and they have indicated that a further noise
assessment can be provided to demonstrate this. The other noise control conditions
imposed by way of P15/0685 are also appropriate to the current application and the
applicants have agreed to their implementation by email exchange.
25. Environment Agency: The proposal to operate this site as a pyrolysis plant
associated with this development will require an Environmental Permit under the
Environmental Permitting (England & Wales) Regulation 2016 (as amended), from
the Environment Agency. Without prejudice to our determination of a permit
application for the site, the applicant would need to demonstrate that Best Available
Techniques (BAT) would be used to prevent emissions or reduce them to a level
where they would not cause harm. An Environmental Permit application has been
submitted to the Environment Agency who at this stage see no reason why the
operator should not be able to comply with the EPR Regulations should a permit be
issued. No objections subject to advice being followed.
26. Canal and Rivers Trust: No objection
27. Coal Authority: No objection subject to condition, subsequent to receipt of Coal
Mining Risk Assessment.
28. Head of Planning and Development (Land Contamination Team): No objection.
29. Local Lead Flood Authority: No objection
30. Sandwell MBC: No objection raised.
RELEVANT PLANNING POLICY
National Planning Guidance (2012)
31. The NPPF advises that the purpose of the planning system is to contribute to the
achievement of sustainable development. Sustainable development comprises the
economic, social and environmental roles of the planning system. The NPPF
reaffirms that the planning system is under pinned by a presumption in favour of
allowing sustainable development provided that proposed development would be in
accordance with the development unless material considerations indicate otherwise.
National Planning Policy for Waste
32. National Planning Policy for Waste (NPPW) was published in October 2014 and
directs waste planning authorities to provide sustainable waste management and
resource efficiency for their administrative areas by moving the management of
waste up the ‘waste hierarchy’ (prevention, preparation for re-use, recycling, other
recovery and disposal as a last resort) and provide a framework for communities to
“take more responsibility for their own waste” in line with the proximity principle and
without endangering human health or harming the environment.
33. The NPPW confirms that waste planning authorities should consider a broad range
of locations for new and enhanced waste management facilities including “industrial
sites looking for opportunities to co-locate waste management facilities together and
with complementary activities”. The policy goes on to state at Paragraph 4 that
“where a
low carbon energy recovery facility is considered as an appropriate type of
development, waste planning authorities should consider that suitable siting of such
facilities to enable utilisation of the heat produced as an energy source in close
proximity to suitable potential heat customers”.
34. The Government published a waste management plan for England in 2014. The
document is non-site specific and is intended to provide an analysis of the current
waste management situation in England and evaluates how to support the
implementation of the objectives of the Revised European Waste Framework
Directive. The plan reinforces the Government’s commitment to move beyond our
current throwaway society towards a zero waste economy by focusing on the
sustainable use of material and an improving service to householders and
businesses while delivering environmental benefits and supporting economic
growth. Current figures for waste generation and recycling indicate that the UK has
now reached comparable levels of recycling with many countries in the EU and that
there has been a major decrease in the level of waste going to landfill.

ASSESSMENT
35. The main issues are:
Principle
Environmental Impact Assessment
Noise and Air Quality
Traffic and Highways
Landscape and Visual Impacts
Other Matters
General Matters
Principle/Policy
36 The National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) was adopted in March 2012 and is
a material consideration in planning decisions and sets out the Government’s
planning policies for England and how these should be applied.
37. The Black Country Core Strategy sets out the strategy for future development in the
sub-region to 2026, however, a review of this plan entitled the Black Country Plan to
2038 is currently ongoing.
38. The application site is located within the Core Strategy Regeneration Corridor (RC)
16 ‘Coseley – Tipton – Princes End.’ The vision for that corridor is that ‘by 2026 it
will provide high quality sustainable residential communities and fit for purpose local
employment areas. There will be an improved public realm and canal network,
along with improved links between residential communities and parks/open spaces
such as the Wrens Nest Local Nature Reserve. This will ensure that the Corridor will
have significant accessible biodiversity and local green infrastructure’. Although
currently used for industrial / waste management purposes, the application site is
located at the edge of the wider area indicatively identified under Black Country
Core Strategy (BCCS) Regeneration Corridor 16 (Coseley-Tipton-Princes End) for
future housing land use, however, the it has previously been demonstrated that
housing redevelopment is undeliverable with regard to the Bloomfield Recycling
application site, and that this site satisfies BCCS paragraph 7.22 criteria as to what
constitutes a strategic waste management facility. Given this, the Black Country
Plan review (commenced 2016) is likely to identify the site for employment use and
as a strategic waste management facility. To this end Dudley’s adopted 2017
Dudley Borough Development Strategy (DBDS) locates the application site within a
designated Local Quality Employment Area, this being: site reference E16.2,
addressed as ‘Bloomfield Road/Budden Road’, described as ‘Retention of local
employment area’, and totalling 12ha in area.
39. This direction of change is supported further by RC 16 (13) Waste Policy which
references the protection of Dudley strategic waste management sites and facilities
and that new waste management facilities will be permitted within retained
employment areas. Thus when considered as a strategic waste management
proposal on industrial employment/waste management identified land, the proposal
can be supported in principle under BCCS Policies WM1 Sustainable Waste and
Resource Management, WM2 Protecting and Enhancing Existing Waste
Management Capacity, WM3 Strategic Waste Management Proposals and BCCS
Policy WM4 ‘Locational Considerations for New Waste Management Facilities
40. The development proposes to continue the operation of a strategic waste facility
with a throughput of some 225,000 tonnes of waste material that can be utilised
sustainably in accordance with the National Planning Policy for Waste.
41. In addition to the above considerations, it can be seen that this proposed
Renewable Energy Facility can also be supported under BCCS Policy WM1
Sustainable Waste and Resource Management in that it will address waste as a
resource, using it as a feedstock from which energy is generated, rather than
disposal of this waste to landfill. It will also provide for recovery and recycling (rather
than landfill) and thereby move the management of waste up the waste hierarchy
and contribute towards the Black Country achieving ‘equivalent self-sufficiency’ in
waste management terms and minimising the export of wastes that can be
managed locally and enable existing waste management infrastructure to expand.
42. BCCS Policy WM2 ‘Protecting and Enhancing Existing Waste Management
Capacity’ states that proposals to expand or upgrade an existing waste
management site, or to redevelop that site with a different waste management use,
will be supported in principle, subject to compliance with the locational guidance in
Policy WM4. Policy WM2 additionally sets out a number of factors to be taken into
account when assessing such expanded or upgraded proposals and the proposed
pyrolysis plant and waste to energy (WtE) facility can be supported in these terms,
including that it will:
o Will help move the management of waste further up the “waste hierarchy”;
o Maintains and significantly increases throughput capacity of the existing waste site and
improves its operational efficiency;
o Helps to diversify the range of facilities or waste management technologies currently
available within the Black Country;
o Likely results in improvements to the design of the buildings and / or layout of the site.
43. In regeneration terms the development is noted to represent a significant investment
in the region of £10 million which will have directly supported numerous local jobs in
the construction phase and engaged the services of many Black Country
businesses. When operational, the facility will support 10 full time employees in
skilled and manual jobs. This will clearly accord with a key element of the Council
Plan in terms of Regeneration and Enterprise, and will consolidate existing
employment levels of some 45 staff at the main site.
44. The proposed development would be in accordance with Policy EMP3 of the BCCS
through expanding the use an existing viable employment use whilst facilitating an
increase in the number and quality of jobs.
Environmental Impact Assessment
45. The applicant sought pre-application advice with respect to the proposed
development. Given the nature of the proposed development and the site area, a
screening opinion was given which confirmed in accordance with The
Environmental Impact Regulations that the proposals constituted an EIA
development requiring an Environmental Statement under Schedule 1, Part 10 and
Schedule 2 Part 3(a) or Part 11(b) of the 2011 Regulations. The opinion confirmed
that matters to be considered in the Environmental Statement were to include Noise
and Vibration, Air Quality, Traffic and Highways, Landscape and Visual Impacts and
Cumulative Effects. In overall terms with the respective mitigation measures in place
the Environmental Impact Assessment concludes that the proposed development
has a neutral to positive effect on the environment.
Noise and Air Quality
46. The potential noise impacts of the proposed development have been the subject of
a noise assessment which is based upon the noise levels of proposed plant and
equipment and potential impact upon residential premises. The night time
background noise levels have been monitored and assessed by Environmental
Safety and health who have indicated that a further assessment will be required
under BS4142 with additional conditional requirements, however conclusions are
such that the operation of the site is unlikely to cause a significant impact at the
closest receptors, noise sensitive residential properties some 450 metres away.
47. In terms of air quality, no adverse impacts are indicated within the assessment and
no objections are raised. The detailed air quality modelling undertaken to predict
the impacts associated with the Proposed development demonstrates that
maximum predicted concentrations at sensitive receptors and identified habitat sites
due to emissions are predicted to be insignificant with no instances of exceedances.
Odour impacts will not be associated with any aspect of this proposal due to the
processes employed on site.
Traffic and Highways
48. A Transport Statement (TS) has been prepared alongside a Transport
Implementation Strategy, comprising a Travel Plan Statement (TPS) and a Delivery
& Servicing Plan (DSP), which together provide the opportunity to reduce staff
dependence on travel by private car and seek to influence all travel to and from the
site rather than merely assessing its impact. The Site has a good level of
accessibility by sustainable modes of travel and is well placed to promote travel by
sustainable modes of transport.
49. The internal layout of the site has been designed to allow for all vehicles to enter
and leave the site in a forward gear and to prevent any queuing on the public
highway. The site will include weighbridges and a permanent wheel wash facility for
all vehicles. The transport impact of the proposed development is determined by a
comparison of the trips that might realistically be generated by the existing uses,
and the proposed development. The site has existing permits for storage and
processing waste. The transport impact of the development is therefore focused on
the changes that would occur from the addition of the waste to energy facility. The
assessment demonstrates that the development could result in a maximum increase
of 16 two way movements daily which would result in an imperceptible change when
compared to the existing observed traffic movements. This would be based upon
the throughput of the operation at maximum capacity. The assessment shows that
the Proposed Development would have a neutral effect on the highway network and
a neutral effect on the local transport network.
Visual Impacts
50. The landscape and visual impact assessment has assessed the significance of the
impact of the visual changes arising from the proposed development, together with
the changes to the character and quality of the area. The site is an existing waste
recycling facility where visual quality is low, but the site is, however, well screened
from the surrounding area. The majority of the elements which comprise the
development will not be significantly greater in stature than the buildings currently
on site. The only elements which will be more visible will be the upper elements of
the stack and this will be only 4.4m higher than that previously approved at the site,
but located more centrally. This will only be visible from limited and narrow
viewpoints within the surrounding area, mindful that residential properties are some
450 m away.
51. A number of mitigation measures are proposed such as planting in order to reduce
residual effects on visual amenity during the operation of the development,
however, the upper sections of the stack will be visible to users of the public open
space to the north of the site, but only from a confined area to the west and
residents within a few properties on Martin Close or Central Drive but many of these
views will be through leafless trees in winter, being substantially screened in the
summer. Such views will be in an area already influenced by a view of industry in
the foreground and users of the canal and towpath which will only be seen through
leafless branches in winter.
52. The effect on visual amenity to these people is assessed as being of neutral
significance, but the setting of an industrial use within an industrial setting amongst
other industrial premises is not considered to be detrimental to visual amenity.
Other Matters and Cumulative Effects
53. The key potential effects relevant to local surface water and the underlying
groundwater is the risk of remobilising potential contamination already on-site or the
introduction of contamination from construction and routine operational activities or
accidental spillages.
Mitigation measures have been recommended in the form of adherence to a
Construction Environment Management Plan, the Environment Agency’s (EA)
Pollution Prevention Guidelines and use of best practice techniques during
construction and operation. With these implemented, the risk of contamination of
surface water and groundwater will be minimised. The EA’s indicative flood map for
the area shows that the majority of the site (and all of the proposed built
development) is located within Flood Zone 1 (low risk). As the waste recycling use
at the site is already well established and the continued waste recycling operation
will not lead to a significant change in relation to flood risk or surface water
management, water demand or foul drainage demand, as the current level of
activity is likely to remain the same. In conclusion, given the location and nature of
the nearest sensitive receptors, the overall environmental effect of the proposed
development in relation to water quality and hydrology following implementation of
the proposed mitigation measures is considered to be negligible. In terms of
cumulative effects of the development in conjunction with local industry and in
accordance with the Environmental Statement Technical Report, such impacts are
noted to be negligible/neutral or non-existent.
General Matters
54. The proposed development will bring economic benefits from the direct and indirect
employment opportunities arising during the construction and operational phases
with a further indirect jobs likely to be created off-site during the operational period.
55. The utilisation of residual heat from the pyrolysis process, represents an additional
potential environmental benefit of the scheme. A combination of electricity into the
National Grid and district heating could result should a viable and deliverable
solution be forthcoming. The applicant will consider the possibility of transferring
heat for use in the adjacent industrial areas and future residential schemes such as
at the Coseley Bean Road site.
CONCLUSION
56. The proposal reduces the amount of waste deposited to landfill, generates power
from waste and will recycle waste material into a useable product. The development
would present a modern and well-designed waste to energy and production facility
that should sit alongside other uses without environmental impacts or undue harm
to amenity or road safety. The proposed development represents an acceptable and
viable solution managing commercial and industrial waste arising from the Black
Country and generating both renewable energy and a product. The proposal will
compliment an identified waste management facilities in Dudley and is supported by
national and local waste strategies. The site represents an extant Strategic Waste
Site and is well located to serve the sources of waste and is identified in the Black
Country Core Strategy. The proposals seek to locate integrated waste recovery,
production and energy generation facilities in an area that will not result in an
adverse effect on neighbouring uses and where the use of heat to existing
businesses and future development is a viable option. The proposals will bring
significant economic benefits to Dudley via inward investment, job creation and
retention.
57. Overall the proposed development will bring forward a modern power generation
facility in an environmentally acceptable manner that accords with the policies and
objectives of development plan policies and other material considerations. The
proposals have been the subject of detailed public consultation and a full
Environmental Impact Assessment. The Environmental Impact Assessment has
specifically considered the effects of the proposals with findings presented in the
Environmental Statement. In overall terms, with the respective mitigation measures
in place, the Environmental Impact Assessment concludes that the proposed
development has a neutral to positive effect on the environment.

Illustrated background plans and elevations are taken from:Existing planning consent (P15/0685) for the development of arenewable energy facility and associated infrastructure (dated 11August 2015).Drawing 200-SDVP-2-004-03: Proposed Elevations on RenewableEnergy Facility (Apr 2015) (NB 04 is not listed on planning websiteand is referred to as 03 in the Planning Supporting Statement (May2015) (see page 5) which accompanies the 2015 EIA.Drawing 200-SDVP-2-005-03: Proposed Elevations on RenewableEnergy Facility (Apr 2015)Drawing 200-SDVP-2-007-04: Indicative Layout of Renewable EnergyFacility (Mar 2015)
NOTE:Exact duplication of the same direction of elevation betweenPlanning Consent P15/0685 and the Proposed Pyrolysis Plant arenot directly comparable due to differing alignment and location.However, for comparison purposes, building elevations are matchedto the most appropriate comparative elements of the ProposedDevelopment and are centred around the stack. The backgroundimage is taken from the approved plans relating to PlanningConsent P15/0685 as listed below.The Proposed Pyrolysis Plant is set out in the orange lines as anoverlay. The same sequence of layout and elevations can be seen onDrawings BL1134-D2-1 to BL1134-D2-5.
