On Thursday 29th May 2003, planning
permission was granted to Sonae for the erection of a 85
metre discharge stack, this is to replace the 35 metre one
already in use. It is classed as a wet electrostatic precipitor
(WESP) and is used for the treatment of emmissions from principal
items of the processing equipment. The internal diameter of the
stack will be reduced from 3m reducing to 2.6m. Planning Ref;02/01032/FUL.
This application (So Knowsley Council say) was advertised by press
and site notices and only part properties in the locality of Northwood
were notified by letter. Three groups were notified; Friends of the Earth;
Kirkby Against Toxic Sonae; and Northwood Residents Ass.
