EPR/JB3807MM/A001
Regulated facility type
The application is for a Bespoke Environmental Permit for an Inert Landfill at Ingham Pit, Thetford Road, Ingham, Bury Saint Edmunds, Suffolk, IP31 1NR, to complete the high-level restoration of the former sand quarry
Planning permission (SCC/0046/20SE, dated 9th October 2020) has been granted for the importation of 120,000 m3 (or approximately 180,000 tonnes) of inert waste material to the site to improve the surface water drainage and restore the land to productive agricultural use.
