Helius Energy, the company behind a proposed £300 million biomass power station in Southampton, has said that it will revise its plans for the flue accessories and gain more public feedback, it has been reported.

The company is looking to construct a 100-megawatt wood-fired plant in the Western Docks region of the city, though campaigners opposed to the plans believe that the site would cause a rise in transport congestion, according to the BBC.

Helius told the news provider: "An initial review of public comments shows the main issues raised to be the location and scale of the plant, the sustainability of the project and the effect of the scheme on local air quality, noise levels and traffic movements."

The company's revised plans follow an article in the Southern Reporter, which revealed that construction work on an waste recycling plant in Langleee is scheduled to begin this September.
