777 Recycling Centre, 11 Coomber Way

The main waste transfer facility is split into two levels with the buildings on both levels interconnected. The buildings are of steel portal frame construction with box-profile steel cladding and a roof of similar construction including translucent roof panelling. At the upper level is the main WTS and workshop. The WTS has an eaves height of approximately 8 metres and is accessed through an opening 6.8 metres in width and 7 metres in height. Waste material is tipped here and bulked for onward transfer. With the upper level interconnected to the rear this allows for loading and unloading of vehicles from the lower level. The WTS has been split to provide for a workshop area, used for storage and vehicle repairs.

The lower level portion of the site is approached by a slope on the western elevation. There is a second access route into this level of the site from Beddington Lane. There is a second in-pit weighbridge situated at the western end, with the unit benefitting from 12.5 metre eaves, dropping to 11 metres.

On the opposite side of Beddington Lane and immediately to the north of the property, Prologis have been undertaking shed development. Beyond the business units to the west is Viridor’s Energy Recovery Facility and CEMEX neighbour the facility to the east.

The site benefits from an Environmental Permit (EP3709KQ) to handle 372,600 tonnes of waste per annum.

The original facility was granted consent on 22 April 2004 under planning permission D2003/51365, which permitted for the erection of a waste management centre for waste recycling, transfer and associated offices and workshops.

The property has previously benefited from planning permission for a small Energy from Waste (EfW). This was granted on 29 May 2014 but we understand has not been implemented and has therefore lapsed.

We understand that the property is connected to all mains services, with the exception of gas. We understand the substation situated to the western extent of the site has a potential capacity of 2MW.
