A CONTROVERSIAL planning application for the former Marlbrook tip site looks set to get the green-light next week.

Liberty Construction, owners of the Alvechurch Highway-based site, has submitted an application for a new drain culvert, perimeter bunding and balancing ponds.

The company hopes to eventually turn the site into a golf course.

Bromsgrove District Council planning officers have recommended the scheme for approval when it goes before planning next Monday.
