Permission is being sought to develop an existing shed as a Biomass Renewable Energy Processing facility.
The application includes adding to the shed to include a facility for the intake and drying of Biomass, and using the existing building for producing the pellets.
The development would also involve a storage shed for the biomass, and another for the finished pellet product.
