Outline planning consent awarded in 2006. Subsequently Grundon Waste Management submitted an application for full consent, 09/00348/AMM on 3 March 2009 (click here to see artist's impression). This was refused on 24 November 2009, with recommendation to revoke outline consent. Grundon submitted an appeal on 11 March 2010 (click here), but lost the appeal on 16 November on grounds that the plant was too big for the site (click here for details of the decision). Grundon submitted revised proposals for a gasification Incinerator, 11/00788/AMM, on 13 May 2011. The date has been announced for the planning committee to decide on the revised proposal - 3rd February, 10am, Dewars Rink, Perth |
