Description
The property comprises two adjoining sites extending to approx 6.5 acres (2.64 ha) acres, which last operated as a waste recycling operation. There is a large industrial building with integrated office accommodation, the bulk of which is used for sorting reclaimed materials, large outdoor areas, and a Biomass gasification CHP Plant believed to have a rated output of 1,000KWe incorporating two Jenbacher CHP engines and generators.
The vendors have not tested any of the installation and it is believed that it is in poor repair having been inoperative for at least the last two years.
When operating the site was subject to an operating licence/permit for up to 500 tonnes of waste storage. The site previously had accreditation under Ofgem's Renewable Obligations Scheme(RO) and is still listed as "live" with 14 years remaining under the RO scheme. Records appear to show that the plant has only operated at full load for 46 hours and that there may still be a live connection for import and export at the site although no live contract in place. The site also provides ample hard standing and additional areas offering potential for expansion.
