Dow Corning Seeks Hazardous Substance Storage Changes in Barry
Dow Corning plans to modify hazardous substance storage at its Cardiff Road site, including methanol importation. The applications also detail expansions and cycle storage solutions in local residential areas.

Dow Corning has submitted a planning application to change the types and quantities of hazardous substances stored at its Cardiff Road facility. Methanol will be imported via road tanker and stored in an existing tank designed for secondary containment, where it will be used as a supplemental carbon source in a wastewater treatment plant.
The site will also import hexamethyldisiloxane and octamethylcyclotetrasiloxane in ISO containers. Additionally, planning applications have been filed for the installation of secure cycle storage at 7 Pyke Street and for extensions at 2 Tan-y-fron, enhancing residential functionality and aesthetics. The cycle storage will accommodate four bikes, while the extensions aim to align with conservation area standards.
