I am not aware of any particular environmental problems arising from the closure of the factories concerned. As the manufacture of sugar is an activity to which the Integrated Prevention and Pollution Control system applies, the necessary environmental controls will be catered for by IPPC licensing or in the context of an application for the surrender of a licence.
