Plans for a biomass plant at a factory near Wrexham are being recommended for backing despite worries it would be close to tourist attractions.
Kronospan says the plant would provide renewable energy for its wood panel factory at Chirk and help secure 600 jobs.

It has been claimed it would create 12 new jobs.
