Ford concrete batching plant approved on casting vote
Plans to build a concrete-batching plant in Ford have been approved by Arun District Council – but not everyone was happy with the idea.
The application, for a unit on the Rudford Industrial Estate, in Ford Road, was approved on the chairman’s vote after the development control committee was split seven votes apiece for and against.
The online meeting on Tuesday saw some passionate appeals against the plans, not least from Jacky Pendleton (Con, Middleton-on-Sea), who railed against the idea of some 36 HGVs driving to and from the plant each day.
