Why has the life of the existing site been extended to 2020 when it was due to close in 2010?
This site is part of the provision for landfill to meet the Plan area’s needs. At present the capacity at the site has not been fully utilised, and to close it at 2010 would mean the loss of this valuable resource, and would also result in a landform that would not be environmentally acceptable. An extension has therefore been granted.
