Waste company to appeal planning decision

A WASTE treatment company which was refused planning for a recycling plant in Co Waterford is to appeal the decision to An Bord Pleanála.

Advanced Environmental Solutions (AES) wants to develop a composting unit in Portlaw which would take in municipal wet waste and convert it into a valuable odour-free compost.

On December 6, Waterford County Council confirmed it had refused permission for the facility.
