WTC Planning Committee – Jenkinsons Retrospective Planning
F/YR23/0069/F ‐ Change of use of site for the purposes of wood processing (B2
use) for a temporary period of 2 years (retrospective) at Land South Of New Saxon Works
Peterborough Road Whittlesey Cambridgeshire.
This is a retrospective planning application which has been operating for 12
months. There have been numerous complaints regarding this site made to Whittlesey Town Council, The Environmental Agency, Fenland District Council Environment Officers and Cambridgeshire County Council Officers all of whom have concerns regarding the odour, dust and noise that is emanating from this site and how the company have failed to follow the DEFRA operational best practices note.
Members of the Town Council have witnessed HGV’s passing through the town causing further air pollution, there are also scientific reports which indicate virgin wood dust is potentially carcinogenic amongst numerous other health risks and this cannot be allowed, therefore the council recommend refusal of this application.
