From Saxongate Residents Group.
This is the application by Johnsons Aggregates Recycling Ltd (CCC/24/091/VAR) to significantly increase Incinerator Bottom Ash Aggregate – IBA/IBAA production at Saxon Pit Whittlesey, including bigger stockpiles, almost double the amount of incinerator bottom ash, longer working hours and significantly more HGV movements (around a 260% increase per day requested).
Just a reminder that you have until the end of the month to make any comments.
The Whittlesey Town Council planning committee again objected and on 19/05/25 a motion by Councillor Chris Boden at Fenland District Council opposing the expansion was passed unanimously (see attached documents).You can also watch Chris Bodens speech here (starts at around the 46min mark) = FDC Council Meeting – 19/05/25
From experience we know these objections may not carry much weight at Cambridgeshire County Council, so it is imperative the public make their voices heard as well. CCC voted in a new planning committee on 19/05/25, so they will also be less familiar with the wider site issues and the complex history of planning permissions and permits, including the dumping of non-conforming waste.
Saxongate has put in detailed objections and questioned the validity of the vehicle movement calculations. Please contact us if you would like a copy (Unlike Fenland District Council Cambridgeshire County Council do not publish public and residents’ groups comments).
Again, note residents only have until 31st May to respond.
