Details of the application

The Environment Agency has received two substantial variation and consolidation applications for environmental permits under the Environmental Permitting (England and Wales) Regulations 2016. These had environmental permit references EPR/GP3305LN for Beddington Energy Recovery Facility and EPR/JB3136RD for Beddington Waste Transfer Station, but are now being consolidated into one permit, with reference EPR/GP3305LN. It is now consulting on the proposed decision.

Brief description of activity

The Operator applied to vary and consolidate the permits for Beddington Energy Recovery Facility (ERF) (EPR/GP3305LN) and Beddington Waste Transfer Station (EPR/JB3136RD, also listed as EAWML 104442), so that the two activities are regulated under a single Environmental Permit.

In addition the Operator has requested the following changes:

  • Variation of the main listed activity (S5.1 A1 (b) The incineration of non-hazardous waste in a waste incineration plant with a capacity of 3 tonnes per hour or more) to increase in the processing capacity of the Energy Recovery Facility to 382,286 tonnes per annum.

  • Amendment to the locations of emission points S1, W1 and W2 to show their correct locations on the site plan.

  • Add an emission point (A4) for the shredder associated with the waste transfer station activities.

  • Amend the waste transfer station permit from a standard rules permit (SR2015 No10) to a bespoke permit including hazardous waste transfer station & non-hazardous waste transfer and treatment station activities.

  • Amend the European Waste Catalogue codes for the waste transfer station activity.

  • Amend improvement conditions 2 and 6 to mark them as complete.

  • Renaming of the site to “Beddington ERF and WTS” to better reflect the activities undertaken onsite.
