Waste site plans draw objections
COUNCIL bosses today formally objected to plans for a new waste incinerator west of York.
Harrogate Borough Council's Planning Committee members have decided to formally object to the proposed £18 million round-the-clock plant at Marston Moor Business Park, Tockwith.
Harrogate Council environmental health officer Mark Lee said: "Although I accept this as an important part of the assessment, they fail to make adequate consideration as to the proposed effect on occupants of Marston Moor Business Park."
North Yorkshire County Council has received more than 700 objections from residents concerned about issues including noise, operating hours, odours, health and traffic congestion.
However the developers BCB Environmental Management's managing director, Phil Boardman, said: "This project has been fundamentally designed from the ground up to have no significant environmental impact."
