Approval Received for Bespoke Environmental Permit for End-of-Life Vehicle Storage, Depollution and Dismantling Facility in Avonmouth

We are pleased to announce that we have secured a bespoke environmental permit for PR Recycling Ltd for an End-of-Life Vehicle storage, depollution and dismantling facility at their new site on Severn Road, Avonmouth. Due to the nature of the operation and the site's proximity to the Severn Estuary SSSI and to Water Voles, a European Protected Species, we needed to prepare evidence to clearly demonstrate that the development would not cause any unaccetable impacts on the local fauna and flora. In addition we needed to prepare a comprehensive Fire Prevention Plan for the development, which was approved without modification. We wish PR Recycling the best of luck as they rellocate to their larger, more technically advanced recycling facility.
