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 Sealquest Limited.
Application number
EPR/BB3702UV/V002
Regulated facility type
The application is for a waste bespoke permit to include an aggregate washing plant to the site’s current activities including the storage and treatment of waste consisting of manual sorting, separation, screening and crushing of waste into different components for disposal or recovery. The treatment of construction and demolition waste produces a range of products which are sold off site to the construction industry in accordance with the Quality Protocol ‘Aggregates from inert waste’. This allows for the utilisation of recycled materials with the principles of sustainable development and the circular economy. The materials produced all comply with the YHAUC framework (Yorkshire Highways and Utilities Committee).
The applicant is seeking to set the total quantity of waste accepted at the site from 75,000 tonnes per annum to 150,000 per annum . This permit variation application is to include the washing of soils/aggregates as a treatment process.
Additionally, the existing permit boundary is to be extended, allowing more space for the site’s activities. The permitted area will increase from 5 hectares to 7.4 hectares.
