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.

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.

Flusco Materials Recovery Facility
Stephenson Halliday has been assisting Cumbria Waste Management Ltd in their planning application for a Materials Recovery Facility at Flusco Landfill Site. The planning application was considered by the Development Control and Regulation Committee on 19th June 2008. We are delighted to be able to announce that the application was approved by the committee with little debate.
Once constructed, the facility will allow CWM Ltd to increase recycling of wastes collected at the adjacent Household Waste Recycling Centre and provide for more efficient haulage of recyclable waste collected in the Penrith area.

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.

Roan Edge Planning Approval
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.
