Harrogate Spring Water (Danone) has said that it will return to their 2017 plans, that already have outline planning permission, to expand bottling capacity by building into the Pinewoods.
The proposal would see the development footprint reduce from 0.94HA to 0.77HA (just under 2 acres) – this is a 18% smaller footprint.
Since 2017, Harrogate Spring Water has had outline planning permission to expand its production facilities into an area of the Pinewoods.
The company is now putting together a “Reserved Matters” application, which will detail how the new building will look and how the surrounding area will be landscaped.
Before putting in the proposals to Harrogate Borough Council, Harrogate Spring Water say they want to hear from members of the local community about how they would like to see the expansion carried out.
The company say they will organise a series of public consultation events next month.
