The Environment Agency has issued an environmental permit to SRC Aggregates for a waste operation at Crown Quarry, Ardleigh. The standard rules permit allows the treatment of waste to produce soil, soil substitutes and aggregate.

The Environment Agency has issued a variation to the environmental permit for Brickworth Quarry inert landfill site which is operated by Raymond Brown Quarry Products Limited. An application was made by PDE Consulting Limited for a normal variation to amend the permit boundary to include an eastern extension (Area A). There are no changes to the currently permitted waste types or annual throughputs.

We are pleased to announce on behalf of FM Conway that a planning application for the installation and operation of an asphalt plant, concrete batching plant and gully waste plant on land at North Quay Road in Newhaven was approved at the Regulatory Planning Committee Meeting on the 15th March 2018, subject to the completion of a legal agreement.

It is envisaged that there shall be 125,000 tonnes of asphalt, 20,000m3 of concrete and 20,000 tonnes of recycled aggregates exported from the Site per annum. These products will greatly aid in supporting the local area in the coming years.

A further planning application was submitted on behalf of Shotley Holdings Limited to Suffolk County Council, on this occasion it was for the erection of a multipurpose building. The application was validated on 28 November 2018.

We are happy to report that planning permission was granted on 26 February 2018. This multipurpose building will create a safer environment for the storage and maintenance of site machinery as well as providing an improved location for office facilities.

On the 06 October 2017 we at PDE submitted a planning application to Suffolk County Council on behalf of our client, Needham Chalks Limited, to allow the continuation of chalk extraction and the importation of 1,500,000m³ of inert waste to the Site, 1,050,000m³ of which will be used to restore the land to a more appropriate landform with a further 450,00m³ to be recycled and sold as aggregates.

This application was turned around in record time which is a testament to the proactive and pragmatic approach of Suffolk County Council. As such, we are pleased to announce that on 16 November 2017 Needham Chalks Limited were granted planning permission.

With the issuing of this planning permission, the long term future of the Site is secured. The development will also provide significant benefits to the area with the continued employment of around 7 employees, the supply of high quality chalk materials, recycled aggregates and the restoration of the Site to a more appropriate landform.

On behalf of George Tanner Shalford Limited, PDE Consulting Ltd are delighted to confirm that the Environment Agency (EA) have accepted an application for surrender of the environmental permit for Dyers Mead Landfill site.

The Site was filled with pre-Landfill Directive inert wastes in the 1990’s, and was recently restored with a final layer of waste under a variation to the permit.

It was necessary to install in-waste and perimeter boreholes and undertake an extensive programme of groundwater, landfill gas and surface water monitoring.

The final hurdle was a site visit from the EA to confirm that the site and related infrastructure were as described in the surrender application report, which included an in-depth audit of the monitoring infrastructure and the restored surface.

The Environment Agency has duly made an application to vary the environmental permit for Brickworth Quarry inert landfill site. This application is for a normal variation to amend the permit boundary to include an eastern extension (Area A). There are no changes to the currently permitted waste types or annual throughputs.

The Environment Agency has issued a standard rules permit, to S Walsh and Son Limited, for an inert and excavation waste transfer station to be located on the Isle of Sheppey in Kent. The permit (SR2009No5) allows a throughput of 250,000 tonnes per annum.

The EA has duly made two environmental permit applications submitted by PDE on behalf of S Walsh and Son Ltd.

An application has been made for a new permit for an inert and excavation waste transfer station to be located on the Isle of Sheppey in Kent.

An application has also been made to vary the environmental permit for Frog Island which is located in Rainham, Essex. The permit authorises the operator to accept, store and treat construction and demolition waste to produce soil, soil substitutes and aggregate with a maximum throughput of 209,000 tonnes per annum. The normal variation application is to amend the annual throughputs only.
