Treatment Capacity
6. We agree with the Plan’s approach to use EA data on remaining landfill capacity rather than data on
planning permissions to assess future availability. We note that Table 6 shows an inert landfill
capacity at the end of 2019 of 2.265 Mt. Within one year this had dropped to 1.96 Mt. There is some
future capacity permitted but not yet operational at Dorket Head (southern extension) some of which is to be brought forward to prevent the sterilisation of minerals closest to new‐build housing on the edge of Arnold. However, this does not take account of the significant quantities of CD&E waste diverted to land recovery, which will be dealt with below.
Representation on behalf of Mick George Ltd to the Nottingham and Nottinghamshire Draft Waste Local Plan.
See Representations.
These representations are submitted by Mick George Ltd (MGL), which is one of the largest waste
and aggregates companies in the East of England and in the East Midlands. This representation is
designed to support the promotion of Dorket Head as an inert landfill site and to make more general
comments about the strategy proposed to be adopted in the Waste Local Plan. The company has
been unable to participate in the local Plan process before now as it has only recently acquired the
rights to develop the site.
