Cllr Hannigan addressed the committee as the local ward member. In doing so he thanked the committee for holding a site visit and raised a number of concerns that there was no evidence it was being managed safely, and was too close a proximity to residential dwellings.

Cllr Wells stated there was no benefits to the environment, and the precautions taken did not overcome the risk to the environment. He also stated that the cover was showing signs of deterioration and felt the application should be refused.

Cllr Bainbridge also had concerns about the application and the environmental issues.

It was moved by Cllr Wells and seconded by Cllr Glover -

That planning permission be refused for the following reason:-

The applicant has failed to demonstrate that the retention of a stockpile of 170,000 tonnes of road salt would not result in unacceptable pollutants contaminating surrounding watercourses as well as ground water. The development has the potential to create adverse environmental conditions and is therefore considered contrary to policies DS1 and DS11 of the North Lincolnshire Local Plan.
