How will the impacts of the facility be controlled?
The facility has been designed to protect local amenity and be a good neighbour to nearby homes and businesses: • Waste will be processed in an enclosed environment with air extraction systems, filters and sound proofing to contain odours and noise. • The facility will fully comply with all environmental standards. • No sorting, recycling or treatment of waste will take place in the open air. • Biffa will appoint a Community Liaison Officer and hold regular Brookhurst Wood Site Liaison Group meetings to ensure the local community is kept informed of operations on the site and has the opportunity to ask questions and raise any concerns directly with Biffa. • Biffa will also set up a dedicated website that will provide the community with regularly updated information about the facility and a further means of contacting Biffa.
