Waste and resources
Waste facilities draw objection and face two consenting regimes. We have secured planning consent for advanced recycling in six planning authorities and permitted novel treatment technology in under four months.
What decides these sites
- Land allocation and use class
- Traffic, noise, dust and odour
- Local objection
- Permit type and the regulator's view of the process
- Fire prevention plans
How we approach them
We run planning and permitting together, so the scheme that is consented is the one that can be permitted and operated.
