Clenchwarton near King’s Lynn in Norfolk has been the long-term chosen site for dumping large quantities of mixed household clearance and construction and demolition waste onto private land.

This large-scale fly-tipped waste is visible from the nearby road, which is very visually unappealing. Waste is also regularly burned on site, presenting a real risk of fire spreading beyond the site and causing potential damage to the landscape and harming people.

Working with partners in the police, local authority and fire and rescue service, the Environment Agency’s East Anglian Enforcement team is monitoring watchlist site 30 and pursuing a criminal investigation against the perpetrators of this waste crime. 

A Crown court trial is scheduled for November 2026.
