Waste site leads: weighbridges, fire, drainage

The sites that have to be built before they can open.

A permission to operate is also a list of things that have to exist on site before operating can start: hardstanding, drainage, a weighbridge, fire detection, a wheel wash. None of it is optional, and all of it is bought in the weeks after the grant.

New waste transfer site cleared to open

  • First permission granted 11 September 2026 for 74,000 tonnes a year.
  • Conditions require impermeable surfacing with sealed drainage.
  • A fire prevention plan is required before waste is accepted.
  • The operator holds no other permitted site.

Surfacing, sealed drainage and fire detection all required before the first load, at an operator doing this for the first time and with no established supplier for any of it.

What puts a card here
A site is cleared to operate for the first time, or to take a material that changes what it needs.
When the money moves
The works have to be complete before the site may operate.
You sell
weighbridges, fire detection, hardstanding, drainage, site services

Three things the card tells you that a list cannot.

The permission is the start of it. What makes the call worth making is what the other records say about the company holding it, 13 of them read together.

  1. Which works the permission itself requires, so your quote matches the condition rather than a guess.
  2. Whether this is a first permission or a change to an existing site, which decides whether you are building or retrofitting.
  3. The date operating may begin, which is the date all of it has to be finished by.

Who reads this one.

  • Weighbridges and weighing systems
  • Fire detection and suppression
  • Hardstanding, drainage and groundworks
  • Bunding, containment and tanks
  • Wheel washes and site services

Questions about this one.

Why does a new waste permit mean fire detection?
Sites storing combustible waste have to show how they will prevent and fight fires before they may accept it, and that usually means detection and often suppression. The card tells you when the permit requires it.
Is a weighbridge always needed?
Not always, but almost every site that takes waste by the tonne needs to weigh it in. A first permission for tens of thousands of tonnes a year is very rarely run without one.

If this is what you sell, this is your category.
