Binfield site 9
The site
A site at Binfield near Bracknell in Berkshire is the location of a suspected importation of substantial amounts of waste to raise land, create cricket pitches and redevelop residential property. Tipping of waste began in January 2025 and is ongoing at watchlist site number 9.
The problem
As the dumping of waste is still continuing there have been concerns raised about the presence and noise of heavy goods vehicles travelling in and around the site. In addition, the ongoing activity could have potential impacts on the surrounding landscape and wildlife.
The action we've taken
The investigation led by the Environment Agency’s Thames Enforcement team is ongoing. We are committed to working with the local authority and other partners and to taking appropriate regulatory action where necessary.
The site has generated interest from the media and the MP for the local area and we will keep them updated via our dedicated communications.
