PLANS for an ambitious waste site which can process up 100, 000 tonnes of rubbish are set to be given the go-ahead next week.

Planning permission for the proposed change of use of agricultural buildings and land to Material Reclamation Facility (MRF) at Weights Farm will be discussed by Worcestershire County Council next Tuesday.

The proposal, by the owners of Redditch Skip Hire and Waste Transfer Station, would see six buildings converted into one site.

Currently the station, close to the town centre, handles 25,000 tonnes of waste.
