Operators have permits revoked in waste crack down
Summary
The Environment Agency has revoked permits for two waste sites in Greater Manchester and Derbyshire after repeated breaches of permit conditions. The sites must cease authorised activities and remove waste, with the revocations taking effect unless successfully appealed to the Planning Inspector.
Why it matters
Waste sites can create contamination, drainage and fire risks that may affect nearby residential property, particularly where sites are close to homes or watercourses. Surveyors should note the enforcement action as a signal of heightened regulatory scrutiny around waste operations and associated environmental hazards.
Key points
- Revocation notices issued to EWS NW Ltd in Dukinfield and BJL Waste Management Ltd in Glossop
- Sites must stop permitted activities and remove waste once notices take effect
- Appeals can be made to the Planning Inspector before revocation takes effect
- Previous suspension notices cited contaminated run-off and fire risk
- Environment Agency says action forms part of its 10 Point Plan on waste crime
