I wanted to make you aware that the Oxfordshire County Council Planning & Regulation Committee will be considering matters relating to the Sutton Courtenay waste management site at its meeting on Monday 9th November.
The agenda papers, including reports covering applications MW.0092/26 and MW.0094/26, are available here.
The meeting will also be available to watch live via Oxfordshire County Council’s website.
You may be interested to note that the committee report recommends refusal of both applications seeking to extend the Waste Transfer Station and Materials Recycling Facility operations from 2030 to 2039, although the final decision rests with councillors at the meeting.
A number of constituents have contacted me with further questions about operations at Sutton Courtenay, including the planning applications, the proposed 2030 closure date, and arrangements for communicating with residents in the event of future incidents.
I will provide an update on these matters once the committee meeting has taken place and there is greater clarity regarding the planning applications and the future of the site.
