Albion Environmental Ltd was disappointed to receive a refusal for planning permission for a Waste transfer and recycling facility in Kilmarnock, for A. Corrie Skip Hire. The facility was recommended for approval by Council officials but refused by the Planning Committee on the grounds that “the proposed development would have an adverse effect on the area by reason of traffic and odour.”

There are strong grounds for appeal in this case and Albion Environmental Ltd has been requested to prepare and appeal to the Scottish Executive, Inquiry Reporters Unit.
