Development Description:
1. An overall planning application site area of c. 6.3 hectares consisting of a proposed bio-renewables production facility, buffer screening, ancillary facilities and site access via the existing permitted quarry entrance. 2. The proposed bio-renewables production facility (incorporating anaerobic digestion) compound will cover an area of c. 4 hectares. The production facility will convert feedstocks to end of line co-products, namely bio-methane (gas), compressed bio-methane (bio-CNG), carbon dioxide (CO2), electricity (green), organic fertilisers (pelleted) and water, with integrated solar energy generation. The adjacent Roadstone Killough Quarry plant will utilise the electricity, bio-methane and water. Pelletised fertiliser will be available for supply to local agriculture and traders off-site. CNG and CO2 will be pressurised and stored for ongoing draw-off by tankers to points of re-use off-site. Demolition of existing quarry store building (c. 158m²) to facilitate the proposed development. 3. The facility will consist of the following elements to be constructed: a) two-storey administration building with (gross floor area 664m² and 8.15m in height) to accommodate reception and storage areas, canteen, laboratory, first aid room, control room/electrical switch room, storage room, toilets, offices, conference room, training room and kitchenette, and roof solar panels 315m²; b) dry matter reception building (gross floor area 5,215m² and 12.7m in height) with roof solar panels 4,000m²; c) workshop building (gross floor area 122.1m² and 8.9m in height) to accommodate workshop and internal gantry crane, store and office at ground level and office at mezzanine level; d) bio-conversion building (gross floor area 3,257m² and 12.5m in height) with roof solar panels 2,400m²; e) pre-treatment, equalisation and gas upgrading building (gross floor area 5,685m² and 12m in height) to accommodate pre-treatment & equalisation area (3,527m²), utilities area (376m²), heat recovery plant area (361m²), water treatment recovery area (316m²), and gas upgrading facility (1,105m²) with roof solar panels 3,850m²; f) digestate handling building (gross floor area 692m² and 8.6m in height) to accommodate palletiser station/packing station area (150m²), solid dryer/vacuum evaporator area (392m²) and nutrient adjustment facility (150m²); g) warehouse storage building (gross floor area 158m² and 11.2m in height); h) bio-filling station building (gross floor area 300m² and 9.75m in h
