Mineral Processing Ltd - hearing update

Mineral Processing Ltd appealed our decision to issue a revocation notice for their site on 3 July 2025.

The permit will now stay in place until the Planning Inspectorate has announced the outcome of the appeal.

A Planning Inspector has been appointed, and the Hearing is scheduled to take place at 10:00am on Tuesday 9 and Wednesday 10 December 2025.

The Hearing will be held at Rogerthorpe Manor Hotel, Thorpe Lane, Badsworth, WF9 1AB.

Members of the public may attend the Hearing and, at the discretion of the Inspector, express their views.

We noted the request from local councillors to hold the Hearing in South Elmsall, but we were unable to find a suitable venue that was available. The capacity for this venue is 80 seated with additional standing room available.

Please note there is no ‘hearing loop’ available at this venue. If you are disabled and concerned about facilities at the venue, please contact Aled Thomas at the Environment Agency (aled.thomas@environment-agency.gov.uk) to confirm that suitable provisions are in place.
