This approval is subject to compliance with any conditions listed and may not be implemented until it becomes final (see guidance notes). 1. The development hereby approved shall be begun before the expiration of four years from the date of this decision notice. Reason: To comply with Article 26 of the Town and Country Planning (Development Procedure) Order 2019 and to avoid the accumulation of unimplemented planning approvals. 2. The use hereby approved shall only be for a Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) recycling operation and for no other use, including any other waste management activity. Reason: The development has been assessed on the basis of the specific nature and scale of the WEEE recycling operation proposed. Any alternative use could give rise to materially different impacts which would require separate planning consideration. 3. The development shall be carried out strictly in accordance with the submitted plans (Drawing No. 1744) and the operational description document, operational flowchart, and traffic assessment, all received 18 November 2025. Reason: The acceptability of the development depends on the operational parameters described, including the fully internalised nature of the activity and the absence of external processing or storage. 4. There shall be no external storage of waste materials, skips, containers, equipment or other materials associated with the approved use outside the building at any time, unless in accordance with details which have first been submitted to and approved in writing by the Department.

The use hereby approved shall not be undertaken outside the following hours: o 07.00 to 19.00 hours Monday to Friday o 07.00 to 13.00 hours on Saturdays o At no time on Sundays or public holidays Reason: To protect the amenities of the surrounding area and adjacent land users, in accordance with General Policy 2 and Environment Policy 22. 7.

This decision relates to the following documents and plans: o Traffic Assessment o Operations Flowchart o Operational Description o Location, site and floor plans and photographs, Drawing No. 1744 o Drawing register All documents received 18 November 2025. This decision has been made for the following reasons(s) The proposal is acceptable notwithstanding its departure from Business Policy 5, as the development would make efficient use of an existing industrial building within an established employment area, retain the site in active employment use, and contribute to the strategic objectives of sustainable waste management and resource recovery. The fully internalised nature of the operations, together with the absence of external alterations or storage, ensures that the development would not result in unacceptable impacts on visual appearance, local amenity, environmental quality or highway safety. The proposal is therefore considered to accord, on balance, with General Policy 2, Strategic Policies 1, 5, 6 and 10 of the Strategic Plan, Transport Policies 1, 4 and 7, Environment Policy 22, Waste Policy 1, and the objectives of the Waste Strategy 2012 to 2022.
