A new recycling plant is planned on the outskirts of Scunthorpe.
Apan Metal Recycling (AMR) Industries Ltd want to build a new aluminium recycling centre off Normanby Road and adjacent to the Eddie Wright Raceway stadium. They expect the centre will employ about a dozen people.
An office block and an industrial shed are proposed. The business takes used waste products and extracts the aluminium elements of them for recycling.

Read on below to find out more. Other recent planning applications filed with North Lincolnshire Council include a dog breeding facility in Belton, and Bath Hall to have a solar panel makeover.
Aluminium recycling
To get pure aluminium extract from the waste products it will process, the new recycling plant’s industrial shed would have a series of shredders, hoppers, conveyors, and magnetic separators. The business aims to bring in around 5,000 tonnes of product per annum.
The near seven acre site itself is currently owned by the council, but is up for sale. Besides the two buildings, 17 car and seven cycle parking spaces will be created, a weighbridge and a material bulk store.
Material would be imported onto the site approximately five and a half days a week, with no work planned at all on Sundays. It is estimated the traffic will equate to one HGV vehicle in and out a day.

The Baths Hall to go solar
The Baths Hall entertainment venue was re-opened in 2011 after a £15.3m restoration project. If approval is given, it will now see major change to its roof, with it almost entirely covered in 436 solar photovoltaic panels.
These work out at a peak energy production of 177KW. The average British household uses about 10KW a day.
It is not the only council-owned site with an application to go solar. Ashby Library could see 268 solar panels on its roof.
North Lincolnshire Council’s A Green Future strategy which underpins its environmental policies includes an aim for all of the council’s energy to be sourced from renewable power by 2030.

Dog breeding facility in Belton
Permission in Belton for change of a residence to also incorporate a dog breeding and canine fertility clinic has been sought again. It was refused last October.
The facility is already at the address on Belton High Street and was refused on the grounds the dog breeding has led to “noise disturbance to the detriment of the living conditions of surrounding residents”. The applicant has had a five star-rated breeding licence for the past five years and its renewal was unaffected by the planning refusal.
In a planning document, the applicant states in all his years of having a breeding licence, he had not been told to seek planning permission, and the kennels at Belton are in permitted development sizes. Although describing the refusal last time as “very unfair” given the lack of any noise complaints to the council, he also outlines changes since the previous refused application.
Dog numbers have been reduced from 24 to 16 and will be further. There is a six foot fence separating the female dogs from the males and a kennel block that was nearest a neighbour has been removed.

The business is now moving into canine fertility, which operates via appointment only. He details: “In the fertility clinic, I provide a range of services: cytology, semen analysis, ultrasound scanning and stud work with my boys. I am also a trained micro-chipper”.
New Scunthorpe restaurant
Finally, there is an application for a Scunthorpe industrial unit to be turned into a restaurant with alcohol. The dine-in and takeaway actually opened last summer.
Smoke & Iron Ltd operate out of the 192 sq m premises – BBQ, burritos, nachos and build your own burgers options all feature on its menu. Permission for the the change of use has been sought, with opening times of 5pm to 10pm, Monday to Sunday.
