The Environment Agency approved a permit variation for Viridor South London Ltd., allowing the Beddington energy‑recovery facility to increase its waste handling capacity to 382,286 tonnes per year, an increase of 34,864 tonnes. The variation updates all pre‑operational and improvement conditions, amends emission point locations for surface water and sewer discharges, adds a shredder emissions point at the transfer station, consolidates the facility’s and the transfer station’s permits into one, and adds European Waste Catalogue codes for temporary storage and transfer of hazardous and clinical waste that will not be processed on site. The permit, effective 3 June 2026, is subject to the Environment Agency’s strict monitoring and enforcement regime, which includes 24‑hour emissions monitoring and the authority to suspend or revoke the permit if conditions are breached.
