Update August 2021
Peel NRE have submitted a Section 73 application to Cheshire West and Chester planning authority to gain consent for proposed changes to the facility.
This application seeks permission for changes to the approved layout and elevations which have arisen from detailed design of the facility.
Additionally, the application seeks to increase the number of HGVs permitted to access the facility each day in order to provide flexibility for the delivery of hydrogen to potential future customers. The number of HGV movements associated with each plot at Protos will be altered to reallocate the movements and increase the proportion of movements permitted to access the hydrogen production facility (located at Plot 10b). This will be subject to a separate application for a non-material amendment to Condition 9 of the Ince RRP permission
