Cumbria County Planning and Development Committee have approved the application for the landfill of inert waste and recycling operations at Roan Edge Landfill Site, Killington. The Roan Edge site is an integral part of the recycling and waste management operations carried out in South Lakeland. We produced the Supporting Statement to accompany a planning application and carried out discussions with the Planning Authority. At the same time as making the application to extend the timescale the submitted Supporting Statement amends the proposals to better accommodate the increase in recycling operations which has occurred over recent years. The engineering of void space to accommodate the recycling and processing operations would provide additional landfill capacity lengthening the life of the site.
