NEWS: Company appeal Tipperary County Council planning permission refusal
The company explained that its oxygen-free waste-processing machine could reduce pollution and lower the plant’s environmental footprint.
The decision by Tipperary County Council to refuse planning permission for a bio-methane plant near Holycross has been appealed to An Coimisiún Pleanála.
Roadstone’s plan to transform the Killough quarry site sparked strong resistance from the community, with 217 people submitting their concerns to the council.
The company explained that its oxygen-free waste-processing machine could reduce pollution and lower the plant’s environmental footprint.
The Killough Biogas Concern Committee argued that the public meeting about the bio-methane plant felt like a box-ticking exercise, insisting that a real conversation with locals and politicians was needed.
Following the refusal of planning permission, Pat Shanahan from the local group said they expected an appeal and were prepared to pursue a judicial review if required.
