Only soils on site can be used for remediation works. There is no planning permission in place to import additional soils to the site.
Existing wood waste to be removed from site within 28 days.
Displaced top soil layer to be replaced – but there should be no importation of additional soils onto the site.
If a biomass burner is proposed for the site planning permission would be required from ECC and a further consent may be required from the Environment Agency.
As the current works have destroyed part of the restored area a further 5 year period of aftercare will now have to be undertaken as the site cannot now be signed off as completed.
