The proposed building will cover 2,878 square metres and stand approximately 15.7 metres high, matching the height of the existing facility. The new sorting facility will boost capacity by 30,000 tonnes annually, supporting increased aluminium recycling efforts.
While planning officers had no significant concerns, Wrexham County Borough Council’s planning committee chair, Cllr Mike Morris, voiced reservations. He expressed concerns about noise from the 24/7 operation, remembering past issues when Deeside Aluminium operated the plant. However, he acknowledged complaints had reduced since Hydro took over.
