Plans to build a tyre recycling plant in Linwood – a move that would create scores of jobs – have been given the green light by councillors.
SSH Recycling landed the go ahead for the project in Lyon Road after elected members pushed back against advice to reject permission on the basis that the location was deemed susceptible to flooding.
However, Councillor Jim Paterson, the planning convener, confirmed the decision of Tuesday’s board will be called in by Scottish ministers as the objection was raised by a statutory consultee in the form of the Scottish Environment Protection Agency (SEPA).
