Revised plans have been submitted for a waste recycling plant in Merseyside following concerns by nearby residents over its size.
Jack Allen Holdings, the company behind the Garston Resource Recovery Facility, said it had halved the proposed size of the facility.
The site will deal with 150,000 tonnes of waste per year, with eight vehicles per hour moving in and out of the area.
Liverpool City Councillors will consider the new plans.
'Public exhibitions'
The proposed plant will be able to deal with domestic or similar commercial waste from hotels, offices and restaurants.
The height of the building has been reduced to 15m and the fibre product from the recycling process, originally destined for anaerobic digestion tanks at the rear of the site, will be treated off-site, mainly transported by either boat or rail.

Peter Coe, spokesman for Jack Allen Holdings, said: "We held three well-attended public exhibitions in Garston as well as meetings with community groups and local businesses.
"Many expressed support for the sustainable approach that we are proposing and others specifically backed the use of non-incineration technology to deal with and manage our waste.
"We have worked very hard to refine our application to address concerns raised."
