Public questions
Q1 – Mark – Gargrave – Biofuel storage
On behalf of residents, I’d like to register our concern regarding the storage of several thousand tonnes of material, which the Environment Agency has confirmed is fuel for a Biomass Boiler. We believe there is no fire provision at the former Kelber Hill Farm site, which stands adjacent to an operational railway and Gargrave Station. There exists a significant risk to the environment from fire.
- What can the Chief Fire officer do to address this risk, and can he confirm that the necessary license has been granted by North Yorkshire Council to authorise the use of this building for this purpose, at this location?
- In the event of the correct license being in place, then shouldn’t the fire service have been a statutory consultee in that process?
