Brampton| Watchlist site 16

    The site

    The large-scale stockpiling of waste soils and stones and concrete has been taking place at a site in Brampton, Cambridgeshire since summer 2021.

    The problem

    The sight of a large pile of soil and other inert material in a public area is visually unappealing.

    The action we’ve taken

    The Environment Agency has been liaising with operators of watchlist site 16 to resolve the issue. The site has recently obtained planning approval to raise the land and this has resulted in a reduction in the amount of stockpiled material. Our East Anglia Enforcement team will continue liaising with the operators until the stockpiles have gone.

    We have also provided information to the local MP for the area following enquiries.
