Harrogate Spring Water is to hold a public consultation event next week for its plans to expand in the Pinewoods.
The company announced today it would stage the event at Harrogate's Crown Hotel from 4pm to 7pm on July 13.
Local residents are invited to attend and find out more about the proposals and to share their views.
The event takes place in the Byron suite of the hotel on Crown Place in Harrogate town centre.
Since 2017, Harrogate Spring Water has had outline planning permission to expand its production facilities on its site on Harlow Moor Road.
The company is now putting together a 'reserved matters' application which will detail how the new building will look and how the surrounding area will be landscaped.
The controversial plan would involve felling trees in a section of the Pinewoods known as Rotary Wood.
Next week's is part of a series of consultation meetings with the local community and stakeholder groups allowing people to have their say on the design and landscaping of the proposed extension and surrounding land.
