Tynedale Roadstone plans to build the plant next to Allerton Waste Recovery Park, just off the A168. The plant would be open seven days a week and generate around 90 heavy goods vehicle movements daily. Asphalt is used in the construction of roads and car parks.

A Durham company wants to build a new asphalt plant in the Harrogate district.

Tynedale Roadstone Limited hopes to build the plant next to the Allerton Waste Recovery Park, near Knaresborough.

According to an environment scoping report submitted to Harrogate Borough Council, the development would be 22.5m tall and operate for five-and-a-half days a week.

Asphalt plants mix aggregates which can be used for construction projects, such as building roads and car parks.

Documents sent to the council reveal the company expects the plant to operate between 6.30am and 4.30pm from Monday to Friday and 6.30am to 11am on a Saturday or Sunday.

Around 90 heavy goods vehicle movements are anticipated during those times.

Although a full planning application has yet to be submitted, the developer said that, if approved, construction of the site would begin in the middle of next year.

It added in its planning documents that the site, which is just off the A168, was “strategically placed to serve demand”.

The company said:

“As part of the site searching process alternative sites have been considered and discounted with this development site being chosen based on location adjacent to the strategic road network.”


A full proposal for the asphalt plant is expected to be submitted to the local authority at a later date.
