AN INCINERATOR that was at the centre of a major planning row could soon be knocked down.
-
Associated British Ports (ABP) announced that it submitted a prior notification of demolition for the main operational buildings at the Barry Biomass No 2 facility in Barry.
Aviva Investors, who were behind the incinerator project on Hood Road, confirmed early this year that the company running the plant was going into liquidation.
Vale of Glamorgan council was locked in a long-running planning dispute with Barry Biomass No 2 over the way the incinerator was built, and there was widespread opposition to the site from environmental campaigners and concerned residents.
