Andrew has been informed that the potential operators have now applied for an Environmental Permit from the Environment Agency.
Andrew explains, "This is separate to the planning application that will be determined by the East Riding Council but would be required for any operation on the site.
"The Environment Agency have accepted that there is considerable public interest in the application and have therefore extended the consultation period to run from March 22nd to May 8th, longer than their normal 20-day consultation period."
There are 3 ways that residents can submit their objections or comments on the consultation:
• Via the following Website: https://consult.environment-agency.gov.uk/psc/dn17-4bl-4recycling-ltd
• By Email to: pscpublicresponse@environment-agency.gov.uk
• In writing to: Environment Agency, Permitting and Support Centre, Land Team, Quadrant 2, 99 Parkway Avenue, Sheffield, S9 4WF.
* Please note that if you don’t want your response to be public, you can state that to the Environment Agency when making your submission.
