Planning Permissions Granted at Hespin Wood
At the end of 2008 and in early 2009 we submitted two planning applications on behalf of Cumbria Waste Management Ltd for two developments at their Hespin Wood site. The first of these applications sought planning permission for a Materials Recovery Facility aimed at diverting waste away from the waste stream going for disposal by landfill by providing an opportunity for further sorting waste to remove recyclable materials. It was anticipated that this facility could process up to 40,000 tonnes per annum. The second application was for the relocation of the Secondary Aggregates Production Facility. The relocation of this facility is required to vacate the site for the development of one of a new Mechanical Biological Treatment Plant. The planning applications for both the Materials Recovery Facility and the Secondary Aggregates Production Facility were approved today.

Litter Cage and Temporary Transfer Station at Distington Landfill: Permission Granted
Planning permission has been granted for the proposed Litter Cage and Temporary Transfer Station at the Distington Landfill Site in West Cumbria. The planning team at Stephenson Halliday Ltd worked closely with Cumbria Waste Management Ltd to develop an acceptable scheme. The facility will allow higher operating standards over the remaining life of the landfill and provide a temporary facility for waste transfer whilst a long term transfer facility is being developed. Stephenson Halliday Ltd is assisting CWM Ltd in its search for suitable sites for this facility.

Hespin Wood Materials Recovery Facility
On behalf of Cumbria Waste Management Ltd, Stephenson Halliday has submitted a planning application to Cumbria County Council for a Materials Recovery Facility at CWM's Hespin Wood Waste Management Park near Todhills north of Carlisle. Loads delivered to the waste management park with significant proportions of recyclable material would be diverted to the facility where recyclable material would be removed from the waste stream. The facility would allow for the diversion of wastes delivered to the park which are currently disposed of by landfill. The development would involve the construction of a large building to house equipment to process up to 30,000 tonnes of material per annum. It is anticipated the development could lead to the diversion from landfill of around 15,000 tonnes of waste a year.

Kirkby Thore Gypsum Plant, Appleby
Due to a significant increase in the amount of recycling carried out at the British Gypsum Plant at Kirkby Thore near Appleby, Stephenson Halliday have been commissioned to assist with planning and landscape services in connection with the surrender of their landfill license.

Landfill Restoration Assessment Report
Regulations came into force last year to allow local authorities to charge for making visits to sites to monitor their progress and ensure compliance with conditions attached to planning permissions. As a means of examining their own compliance with planning conditions, Cumbria Waste Management engaged Stephenson Halliday to assess the restoration progress at the Distington, Flusco and Hespin Wood landfill sites. The report summarising this assessment was completed in June 2007.
