Dimmer Landfill Site: Difference between revisions

Line 17:

The [[Waste Management Licence]] was changed to an [[Environmental Permit]] in 2003/4 as required by the changing legislation at the time.

There have been several [[Planning_Permission|planning permission]]s for the site since 1970, none of which imposed an end-date to landfilling operations. In 2015, Viridor sought [[planning permission]] to construct and operate a [[waste transfer station]] at the site which was intended to divert wastes to non-landfill final disposal, notably [[energy-from-waste]] in Avonmouth and Oxfordshire. This proposal received approval in 2015 as permission 15/00372/CPO. The application documents stated that the landfill would close prematurely in 2016 and that a separate planning application would be made to alter the approved restoration contours of the landfill to take account of this. To date, no such application has been listed on Somerset County Council's planning portal.
