Scrapping of ghost ships may go ahead
Hartlepool Council's Planning Committee has decided not to challenge the appeals by Able UK over its plans to dismantle ships and other associated work at its Graythorp site.
Councillor Rob Cook, who chairs the Council's Planning Committee, said that new Government planning policy published in February 2007 was one of the main reasons behind the Committee's decision.
Able UK Chairman Peter Stephenson says ”Although the Council has no objections to the scheme, Able still does not have planning permission. We are exploring whether the Council will now grant permission so as to remove the uncertainties as quickly as possible”.
