UNILEVER yesterday announced changes to its proposal to build an electricity station.

"We will be placing a new planning application this week with the council indicating that we have chosen a new location for the electricity station," says Director of Labs, Dr Alan Evenson.

"Having been granted planning approval for our initial location, we were concerned that our neighbours and local councillors were still anxious for us to seek a different location.

"We have therefore spent some time in consultation with many of our neighbours and have found a solution that is better for our neighbours and one that we can accommodate.

"We now hope that planning for this new location will be approved speedily enabling our building work to start.

"Having been granted planning approval we were concerned that our neighbours and local councillors were anxious for us to consider an alternative location. This we have done, as we were keen to have a mutually acceptable solution."
