Consultation extended on the draft decision to grant an environmental permit for the Viridor Energy from Waste plant at Trident Park, Cardiff

The Environment Agency want to make sure everyone has the opportunity to comment so in response to concerns about people being unavailable to comment during the school summer holiday, they have extended the consultation deadline to September 10.

This adds ten days onto our previous deadline so that anyone who has missed the opportunity to tell us what they think has enough time to write to us.
 
There are two documents that set out what their draft decision is:

  • A copy of our draft environmental permit.
  • a "decision document" setting out what our decision is and why they have made it.

These documents are freely available either on their website or at their offices in St. Mellons between 9am and 5pm, Monday to Friday.

They can only take comments in writing, so any you have will need to be sent to:
Permitting Support Centre, Environment Agency, Quadrant 2, 9 Parkway Avenue, Sheffield, S9 4WF.
 
Or if you prefer by email using:
psc@environment-agency.gov.uk
 
Since the Permitting Support Centre deals with many different applications at any one time please ensure you mark your letter or email with the header “EPR/LP3030XA/A001â€�.  This will make sure your comments are directed to the correct officer.
 
As a reminder, the closing date for receiving those comments is Friday, September 10.  All comments are put on our public register unless you ask us not to in writing. 
 
They will review their decision within 15 working days where they receive comments that could affect their decision, longer if agreed with the operator.  Otherwise they will finalise their decision and issue a permit or refusal notice within 5 working days.  A copy of their final decision will be available on their public register in either case.
