Plans to help decarbonise Carlsberg Britvic’s West Leeds site have been approved.
Council planners gave the green light for Britvic to build a thermal 25 metre tall storage toweron Intercity Way, Swinnow.
Proposals include a potential single storey enclosure for housing future heat pumps.
There were no objections to the plans.
A council planning officer’s report approving the plancs concluded: “The proposed tower and building – which are operationally necessary and part of the longer term objective of decarbonising the site – are appropriate in design to the industrial character of the established soft drink factory and reflects the design of the existing buildings.
“It will not impact on the amenity of any local residents nor introduce additional parking demand or traffic movements. The proposal is therefore recommended for approval subject to conditions.”
A planning statement submitted with the application states: “This forms the next step of Carlsberg Britvic’s strategic plan in delivering centralised plant systems and decarbonisation of the Leeds site.”
The application says the existing site consists of temporary storage enclosures, all to be demolished and relocated before the installation of the thermal store.
