Plans to erect silos for fruit juice approved

15 November 2007

Planning permission for the erection of 10 stainless steel storage silos for fruit juice at Orchard Business Park, Bromyard Road, Ledbury, has been approved by members of the northern area planning sub-committee at their meeting on Wednesday, November 14.

The silos, each with a height of 18 metres, are needed to help meet increasing demand for the product made by Thomas Services Company Limited.

The site, part of an employment allocation, lies outside but next to the Malvern Hills area of outstanding natural beauty.

A report to the committee said the scheme had no significant detrimental impact on the landscape of the area.

Conditions attached to planning permission included submitting a landscaping scheme.
