Shotton Mill Limited tissue machine facility gets the go-ahead

Shotton Mill Limited has lodged a full application for the proposed construction of the development on land at Shotton Papermill on Weighbridge Road in Deeside Industrial Park.

Planning permission has been granted for the redevelopment of the papermill, including the expansion of the site.

Turkish conglomerate Eren Holding officially launched the paper mill campus in September. The project was said to be one of the most significant foreign manufacturing investments in the UK in years.

It is the intention of the application to bring the development of one of the approved tissue machine facilities by utilising and extending an existing building on the main site.

Flintshire Council's planning committee will consider the application today (20 November).

An officer's report for the committee has made a recommendation to grant planning permission, subject to conditions.
