CONTROVERSIAL plans for an £80 million renewable energy park are set to be approved this week - despite hundreds of objections.
The council's received over 300 letters of objection, as well as a petition signed by more than 100 people.
Peel Environmental's plan for the former Houghton Colliery site, off Park Spring Road, Grimethorpe is to generate power from waste food and timber.
Businesses ASOS, Norbert Dentressangle, Sash Logistics UK and Sandhill Golf Club have also submitted objections.
Coun Dave North said: "There's a lot for and against it, but if it's going to be run all right I have no objections."
The plans will go before councillors at the planning board on Tuesday.
