Whittlesey Town Council, has made a formal complaint and objection to a Cambs CC Planning Application.

CCC/24/091/VAR | Importation, storage, processing including use of trommel, picking and recycling of incinerator bottom ash (IBA) and construction and demolition (C&D) waste, for exportation for use as incinerator bottom ash secondary aggregates (IBAA) Informative: S73 planning application to vary conditions 5 (Approved plans & documents); 6 (Hours of operation); 15 (Vehicle movements); 21 (Annual throughput of waste); and 25 (Stockpile heights) of planning permission CCC/21/024/FUL to increase: the quantity of waste imported to the site, number of HGV movements, stockpile heights and hours of operation within building 1; make changes to the layout of plant; and to crush and screen IBA/IBAA and C&D waste…..

I have been asked to email you by Whittlesey Town Council regarding information on the Environmental Statement 61621, section 1.5 Statement of Community Involvement.
Item 1.5.1 & 1.5.2
1.5.1 The Applicant presented the proposal to the established Whittlesey Liaison Committee on 2nd February 2024.
The attendees included local Saxongate representatives, the Environment Agency, Cambridgeshire County Council’s Planning Department Member, and a Whittlesey Planning Representative.
We wish to advise there was NO member of the Whittlesey Town Council Planning Committee at this meeting, therefore this information is factually incorrect and should be withdrawn or amended immediately.

The second item 1.5.2 Noting that the representatives were happy with the way the business operates on site with no noise, odour, dust or transport issues attributable to the operations, the main comments related to:
Increased wall height, Dust, Noise, Odour, Lorry Movements, Next Steps.
This indicates that the planning representative (as stated above) was happy with 1.5.2 and the associated points. Once again this is not the case as no one from the WTC Planning Committee was present.

The agent needs to amend this item immediately.

That said the message was and will be to carry on – In that there are now more people seeing a support health-workers because a direct doctors appointment may not be necessary and pharmacies are taking up some of the workload.

There was mention, of Health Centres (smaller ones) and Pharmacies closing being of concern.
