A plan to extend a Nottinghamshire meat processing plant is set to be rejected over greenbelt and flooding fears. Sarval, which operates an animal processing plant on Stoke Lane, Stoke Bardolph, had proposed to add a new storage building to its site which makes pet food ingredients.
Planning permission is being sought for the construction of a baggage storage facility for animal by-products, but the plan has been recommended for rejection at Gedling Borough Council's planning committee on April 26. Sarval said that whilst the site is located within the greenbelt, the infilling and redevelopment of brownfield land would not be inappropriate development.
It argued the project would improve the appearance of the site and provide economic benefits through investment into the business. It also argued the proposed works would improve the working conditions of staff and reduce noise emissions from the site.
