LANDFILL SITE - Planning Appeal - Public Inquiry

against refusal of permission to extend operational life of site to 2037

Newton Longville Parish Council thanks all who attended the public meeting on 4th May.

At the special Parish Council meeting after the public meeting it was decided that the PC:

supports other local councils in strongly objecting to the extension of the current landfill operation due to the impact on residents.
notes that in considering its response little information has been available on how the site will be restored without voids being filled with waste as originally planned. If the Appeal is refused then steps clearly need to be taken by Milton Keynes Council, Buckinghamshire Council and the Environment Agency to ensure that communities in this area are not negatively impacted by the consequences of that decision over the long term (including any potential issues with land stability, slippage, associated drainage, leachate leakage and gas treatment).
will seek Rule 6 status in the Appeal.

"Rule 6" status means Newton Longville Parish Council will be a main party to the appeal. It has to submit a Statement of Case by 17th May. If you have any information about impact on residents that you think may help with this please get in touch by emailing: This email address is being protected from spambots.
