Wakefield Council refuses planning permission for Mineral Processing Ltd

On 27 June 2025 Wakefield Council refused a planning application by Mineral Processing Ltd to extend operation at the site for a further 10 years.

On 4 July 2025, Wakefield Council also served a breach of condition notice around the current planning permission. This notice means that all operations must cease at the site except for those required by the suspension notice.

There is no right of appeal for this notice and if Mineral Processing Ltd do not comply with this notice, they will be committing an offence

We continue to work closely with Wakefield Council to use our joint regulatory powers in the most consistent and effective way to bring about improvements at this site.
