OVERVIEW<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

This application,<\/a> the first under the Rhodia era mainly concerned the continued presence and use of phosphorus trichloride and phosphorus oxychloride at the works. It was originally submitted in May 2000 but met with considerable delay due to one reason or another. It was decided on 10\/1\/2002\u00a0and came with 6 conditions.\u00a0The 11\u00a0substances applied for and location use are shown in the tables below. An increase in the amount of phenol and\u00a0\u00a0<\/b>BIS-HEXAMETHYLENE TRIAMINE\u00a0 (B.H.M.T) <\/strong>on site was applied for. <\/b><\/p>\n

Three appendices were included with the application.<\/p>\n

Appendix 2 vessel location plan<\/a><\/p>\n

HSE CONSULTATION ZONE<\/a>\u00a0The\u00a0council report notes that the HSE consultation zone extends to\u00a0 approximately 940 meters around the works.<\/p>\n

Originally it appears that Rhodia had advertised the application \u00a0without the local authority being able to find it. Once again the advert in the Express and Star was buried.<\/p>\n

The HSE <\/a>gave a more considered response than usual, though much of this was technical detail rather than consideration for additional risk.<\/p>\n

West Midlands Fire service\u00a0once again\u00a0had little to say.<\/p>\n

The planning committee report\u00a0 see below\u00a0outlines the full background to the application.<\/p>\n
