A report was presented on an application for an energy recovery facility on land at Red Scar Industrial Estate, Longridge Road, Preston.
The Development Management Officer explained that the application had generated a large number of representations and it was therefore considered to be appropriate for members of the Committee to visit the site prior to determining the application.
It was also proposed to visit an operational Energy Recovery Facility/ Energy from Waste Plant similar to that proposed at Red Scar. This would hopefully provide the Committee with a clearer understanding of the development proposal, and any issues raised.
Resolved: That the Development Control Committee visit the site and an existing facility similar to that proposed at Red Scar prior to determining the application.
