Denchworth site 39

Mixed waste was deposited on agricultural land at a site in Denchworth, Oxfordshire. An Environment Agency enforcement officer substantiated that the waste tipping at watchlist site 39 began in July 2021 and ended in November 2022.  

Although no current or likely environmental and community impacts have been detailed, waste still remains on the site but clearance is underway. 

With a criminal investigation launched under the lead of our Thames Enforcement team, the offender has now been prosecuted, convicted at court and a remediation order made to clear the waste within 9 months.
