Harrogate Spring Water’s expansion plan, threatening 500 trees, faces a decision next week amid legal and environmental concerns.
A decision on Harrogate Spring Water’s factory expansion into Rotary Wood, which would cut down around 500 trees, is set for next week.
The company, owned by Danone, claims the project will create 50 jobs and gain public support based on a 200-person survey.
Council planners recommend approval, citing tree replanting and economic benefits, but environmental groups and legal experts warn the original 2017 planning permission may have lapsed, raising concerns about compliance with current environmental laws.
Opponents argue the proposal lacks enforceable biodiversity commitments and credible nature recovery plans, urging the council to delay approval until legal and ecological issues are resolved.
