Details of the application

The Environment Agency has received an application to vary an environmental permit under the Environmental Permitting (England and Wales) Regulations 2016 involving substantial change to a permit from LB Silica Sand Limited.

Application number

EPR/HP3094SQ/V002

Regulated facility type

Reach Lane Quarry Landfill is an operational Inert Landfill (L05) permitted within an approximately 5 hectare area. The variation is to expand to the east, resulting in a permitted area of approximately 50 hectares. The accepted waste codes are unchanged. Previously the operation was limited to 125,000 tonnes per annum - this variation would increase the annual intake to 255,000 tonnes per annum. They are also intending to place additional monitoring boreholes to monitor the environmental impact of the activity. Included in the application are noise and dust assessments. Nearby SSSIs and residential areas are among the considered receptors.
