Environment Agency - Illegal waste site costs Bromsgrove man nearly �24,000: On Tuesday 25 September 2012, a Bromsgrove man pleaded guilty at Redditch Magistrates’ Court to two charges of operating a regulated waste facility without an environmental permit.
In sentencing, the magistrates told Mr Roger Aylett of Causeway Meadow Farm, Stoke Works, Bromsgrove that these were serious offences. He was fined £20,000 and ordered to pay costs of £3,737.38.
The charge was brought by the Environment Agency under Regulation 12(1) contrary to Regulation 38(1)(a) of the Environmental Permitting (England and Wales) Regulations 2010.
Environment Agency officers visited the farm on 11 May 2011 and found a barn containing the household and commercial waste from about 400 skips. Outside they found skips of general waste, tyres, and building wastes. Mr Aylett was served a notice requiring him to remove the wastes, which he did not comply with.
