Wastefront has secured an environmental permit for its tyre recycling facility at the Port of Sunderland

The Environment Agency’s initial assessment suggests “widespread” and “serious” non-compliance of environmental permit conditions by all water companies

The Environment Agency has launched a consultation on Viridor’s plans to increase the capacity of the facility by around 34,864 tonnes a year

The £200m proposed project is expected to process around 243,000 tonnes of waste per year

It has launched a new consultation and is seeking comments from interested parties by 22nd April 2022

Dominic Allen, 25, from Old Swarland, has been sentenced to 12 months in prison, ordered to pay £1,000 in costs and given 18 months to clear the site

The Environment Agency has launched a public consultation on the new permit, which if granted would allow UKOG to operate at the proposed site for a period of three years

The proposed 30MW advanced energy recovery facility would be capable of treating around 330,000 tonnes of non-recyclable, non-hazardous waste each year

The court heard the company kept waste vehicles on site despite its environmental permit not allowing it to store, keep or treat those vehicles

A consultation on the application is now open, with the local community invited to give their views until 31st January 2020
