RESIDENTS and members of the business community were up in arms as the deadline loomed for submissions on proposals for a Waste Transfer Facility on the old Kilmeaden Road.
Oxigen Environmental, which has already been turned down for a similar facility on the city’s North Wharf, submitted an application, in mid July, for a change of use at the Waterford/Ross mart premises.
They are also seeking a waste management licence from the City Council.
Residents and members of the business community who only became aware of the applications in recent days have until this Thursday to make submissions on the change of use proposal and they have until August 27 to make submissions to the city planning department at Menapia Building, The Mall, on the application for the waste management licence.
