A new recycling centre which will create dozens of jobs has been approved in a Nottinghamshire village. Plans for the new “state of the art” site to replace the current HGV dismantling depot were passed by councillors on April 19.
Nottinghamshire County Councillors praised the plans, despite objections from Calverton Parish Council and concerns from almost 50 residents about noise, dust, traffic and odour. The parish council said there would be “significant impacts from HGV exhaust emissions” while residents said there would be “no respite on noise” due to the site running 24/7.
The new plans will see the current building extended and the site used for tipping, sorting and storage of mixed plastics, cardboard and paper, with the creation of 50 new jobs. As part of the new plans, there would be 19 deliveries and departures a day from the site off Hollinwood Lane near Calverton village.
