The permanent residency of the land to the North and South of Newyears Green Lane for the continued use of an organic composting facility operation to handle a maximum throughput of up to 75,000 tonnes per annum of organic waste, including retrospective retention of two above ground leachate storage tanks and the installation of three freshwater storage tanks.

Officers introduced the application, highlighted the addendum and made a recommendation for approval.

The Committee noted that the applicant had an odour management plan in place and that there was a sharing of different wastes between authorities. Concerns regarding the narrowness of the lane was raised and it was noted that the speed limit had been recently reduced and access had been limited to certain points.

The Committee requested clarification on the number of 41 vehicle movements indicating that one vehicle would have to remain on site at night. Members were advised that condition 5 could be amended to include 40 vehicle movements rather than 41.

The officer’s recommendation was moved, seconded and unanimously agreed.

RESOLVED: That the application be approved as per officer’s recommendation subject to amending condition 5 from 41 to 40 vehicle movements.
