PDE has submitted to the Environment Agency, on behalf of S Walsh and Son Limited, a Waste Recovery Plan (WRP) to allow the restoration of Stone Pit I historic landfill site with wastes. Following the Environment Agency’s approval of the WRP an environmental permit application will be submitted.
Differential settlement of the historic landfill is to be corrected through the importation of around 490,000m3 of inert and construction wastes and soils across 18.7ha of the site with the potential for longer term public access, amenity and ecological benefits.
Planning permission for the waste operation was granted in September 2013.
