The decision follows a rigorous environmental assessment of 4Recycling Ltd’s proposed activities and takes into account 231 separate comments submitted in a first consultation, which concluded on 8 May 2019 and 77 further comments submitted during a second consultation that concluded on 21 September 2020. Our assessment ensures that the recycling plant will comply with the legal requirements of the Environment Permitting Regulations and that it will be designed, constructed and operated in a way that will not harm human health or the environment. We do not permit activities that pose an unacceptable risk.
