FCC Environment invites you to participate in the public consultation for the proposed Willerby Waste Recovery and Transfer Facility. This consultation is designed to inform and gather feedback from the local community ahead of a detailed planning application being submitted to East Riding of Yorkshire Council.
We are hosting a public drop-in on Thursday 1st October from 2pm to 6pm at Village Hotel, Henry Boot Way, Hull, HU4 7DY. This is a great opportunity to meet the project team and find out more about our proposals.
Project Overview
FCC Environment is proposing to develop a new Waste Recovery and Transfer Facility. This will:
- be used to receive, manage, sort, bulk and transfer waste from existing household waste recycling centres and kerbside collections across East Riding of Yorkshire.
- receive residual household and commercial waste which would either be delivered directly or via the existing waste transfer facilities.
- carry out pre-treatment of waste prior to energy recovery, including shredding.
- allow for the removal of recyclable material and the storage and bulking of a range of waste streams (including street sweepings).
Alongside the new facility, the proposals include:
- A dedicated HGV parking and skip/container storage area, improving how vehicles are managed on site.
- Upgrades to the weighbridge and site office/welfare area, including improved parking and accessibility.
Whilst not part of the planning application, FCC are also continuing to look at improvements to the existing Aerated Static Pile compost maturation area as part of their ongoing investment in the site. Currently, FCCs preferred approach is to retain and enhance the current ASP facility within its existing location, ensuring continued operational efficiency while delivering environmental and operational improvements.
FCC Environment is committed to minimising environmental impact and being a good neighbour. For example, the proposal incorporates a range of pollution control measures and would include a thorough soft landscaping scheme ecological enhancements. A sensitive design solution is also proposed for the Waste Recovery and Transfer Facility with the building designed to resemble an agricultural style building.
