Horsham - Watchlist Site 56

We have been gathering intelligence and evidence relating to a site in Dial Post, Horsham, West Sussex, which is Watchlist site 56. Our enquiries to date indicate that approximately 20 tons of waste may have been brought onto the site. Investigations remain ongoing to establish the full extent of the activity and environmental offences.

A waste transfer station has been operating on the site without an appropriate environmental permit in the current operator’s name. A permitted waste activity was previously associated with the site but there is no valid permit in place for the current waste activity.

We have visited the site and are monitoring the situation. The operator has submitted a further pre-application enquiry with a view to obtaining the necessary environmental permit, but this process is not yet complete. We are continuing to gather evidence and assess compliance with environmental permitting requirements. We will also consider appropriate enforcement action. 

As this remains an active investigation, we are unable to provide further details at this time. Updates will be provided where appropriate.
