Minutes:
The Committee considered a report (together with an oral update) regarding the above planning application.
RESOLVED
1. That the recommendation to amend condition 5 be refused as the submitted amended wording to condition 5 is considered ambiguous and does not assist to clearly define the nature of waste materials that would be acceptable for import. The existing condition, read in relation to the permitted development, is considered to provide sufficient indication of the nature of wastes that are acceptable to be imported to, processed or stored at the site.
2. That the recommendation to leave existing condition 6 unaltered be approved as Condition 5 makes it clear that only green garden waste shall be imported and accepted on the site. The operator should ensure that only such waste is imported. Allowing a 5% quantity of mixed waste to be imported does not accord with the requirements of condition 5 and would lead to unacceptable impacts on amenity. It is considered the current wording of condition 6 adequately allows for those incidents were contaminated material which is not green garden waste is inadvertently imported within the main body of the green garden waste.
(The decision to refuse an amendment to condition 5 was against the Officers recommendation to amend).
