Planning lodged in Tipperary for massive plant to process 20,000 tonnes of waste concrete

Planning has been lodged in Tipperary for a massive plant to process almost 20,000 tonnes of waste concrete.

Kilsaran Concrete Unlimited Company has made the application to Tipperary County Council for the provision of a 2,416 square metre defined recycling area in the pit floor for the processing of up to 19,500 tonnes of waste concrete annually using a mobile crushing and screening plant.

The development address is at Deerpark, Kilfeacle, county Tipperary.

The project will also allow for the stockpiling of waste concrete prior to processing and stockpiling of recycled aggregates prior to transport off-site for use in construction works

The council has until June 27 to make its decision.
