Havering Council's strategic planning committee is poised to approve a significant extension for the Coldharbour Lane landfill site in Rainham until December 2029. This facility, managed by Veolia, is expected to accept an annual volume of 200,000 cubic meters of waste. The council's report emphasizes the need for a development plan that includes public access features and recreational facilities. The ultimate goal is to fully restore the site by December 2031, while also addressing potential environmental concerns if the extension is not granted.
The planned extension of the Coldharbour Lane landfill until December 2029 aims to ensure sustainable waste management and avoid negative environmental impacts from new waste sites.
Veolia claims that without this extension, the site could face 'uncontrolled gas emissions', underlining the necessity for regulatory compliance and proper restoration efforts.
The final restoration of the landfill site by December 2031 is contingent upon crafting a detailed public access plan, which must include recreational pathways and facilities.
The council emphasizes that continuing landfill operations will prevent logistical challenges and environmental repercussions tied to establishing alternative landfill locations.
