| How to Object To Rotary Wood Plans | Tue, 2021-03-02 12:47 |
Following the rejection of the recent planning variation for a larger extension to the Harrogate Spring Water bottling plant into Rotary Wood, we can now confirm that the original application is now being reviewed by Harrogate Council. The full plans for the original extension were submitted in May 2020 along with the variation for the larger extension.

However, we now expect the planning committee to be asked to approve the original application over the next few months. Detail |
