In 2006 Jack Moody Ltd was granted permission to process food and green waste in an enclosed composting building. This was in addition to the green waste the company was processing on a separate part of the site. It is a legal requirement for waste containing food to be composted indoors for environmental reasons, it also prevents the spread of animal disease. In 2010 the Environment Agency took enforcement action against the company due to breaches of their environmental permit.
Following a number of complaints in 2012 Environment Agency officers carried out a series of thorough investigations. As a result Jack Moody Ltd were required to improve its operating procedures and infrastructure. Whilst there are still complaints from local residents, the number is significantly lower than in 2012.
