AN APPLICATION seeking to transform an industrial site in Yateley has been put on hold after councillors ordered that an environmental assessment be carried out.

Plans to transform facilities at Clark’s Farm in Darby Green into an indoor recycling facility have prompted Hampshire County Council to request that an environmental assessment on the proposals be carried out so that potential impact on the surrounding area be better understood.

The application, which was submitted on behalf of the site’s owner M Collard Waste Management Services Ltd, is seeking to expand the site’s current industrial operations by placing recycling machinery within a main building.

Waste

If approved the plan would see 50,000 tonnes of commercial and demolition wastes such as bricks, concrete, timber, metal and glass processed annually at the site, with waste being delivered to the site up to 52 times a day.

There would also be a four-metre high boundary fence erected on the site's eastern boundary in order to limit the noise and visual pollution.

Details of the application can be found on Hampshire County Council’s website for minerals and waste management under application reference 10/00811/CMA.
