Our Plans

We are seeking to rebuild the WLPS site for the safe storage, quality control checking and distribution of aviation fuel (also known as kerosene).

It is our intention to rebuild the WLPS site so it is able to handle the same capacities for aviation fuel storage, quality control checking and distribution as before the incident in December 2005 - albeit in a slightly different configuration of storage tanks to take into account the latest design, operations and safety codes.

In addition, our proposals will incorporate up-to-date specialist advice on safety equipment, fire-fighting systems and tertiary containment facilities and our plans will be supported with an Environmental Impact Assessment.

Our plans are yet to be submitted to the relevant planning authorities, however full details will be made available through both Dacorum Borough Council and St Albans City and District Council in due course. Links to the relevant web pages of both authorities will appear here as soon as the applications have been submitted and the authorities have placed details on their websites.
