1. Overview
1.1. The EU Waste Framework Directive requires that Waste Planning Authorities
(WPAs) monitor the waste management facilities in their areas, including
their capacities and any planned or necessary closures, in order to assess
and provide for the waste arisings in their areas.
1.2. It is also a requirement of UK planning legislation and guidance that WPAs
estimate the need for waste management facilities in Cumbria in the short (5
year), medium (10 year) and longer (15 year) term, and to identify the need
for provision of new facilities within those time frames.
1.3. This 2015 Waste Needs Assessment (WNA) has been conducted jointly by
Cumbria County Council and the Lake District National Park Authority
(LDNPA), and covers the entire area of the county of Cumbria, including any
areas within either the LDNP, or the Yorkshire Dales National Park.
1.4. The WNA is designed to fulfil both the above purposes and enable both
Waste Planning Authorities to identify any need for additional waste
infrastructure, to identify sites where required, and meet the Duty to Co-
operate, both with each other and with other planning authorities in England.
There is also a duty to co-operate with authorities in Scotland and Wales if
waste is exported to their areas; however, the same duty does not apply to
the Scottish and Welsh authorities.
1.5. The County Council is also the Waste Disposal Authority for the whole of the
county of Cumbria, and the six constituent District Local Authorities are the
Waste Collection Authorities for Cumbria, including all areas within both
National Parks.
1.6. The County Council commissioned a Waste Needs Assessment in 2014,
based on 2013 Environment Agency (EA) data and a 2009 survey of
Commercial and Industrial (C&I) Waste in the North West of England. This
2015 WNA updates the 2014 WNA, particularly in relation to inert and C&I
waste, but only a very minor update is required for the hazardous, agricultural
and waste water streams, for which the data indicates very little change.
2. Methodology
2.1. The overall data about waste facilities and waste movements used in the
assessment is taken from the Environment Agency’s 2014:
Waste Data Interrogator (WDI), and
Hazardous Waste Data Interrogator (HWDI)
2.2. The WDI is a Microsoft Access database that records the waste movements
(site details and tonnages) to and from licenced sites with EA waste permits
in England and Wales. Scotland is only covered in as much as it may be the
origin or destination of waste that arises or is exported from England. The
HWDI provides details of hazardous waste movements (tonnages and
authority only), but does not provide the name of the site at which the waste
was managed, so it is harder to identify which facilities are managing this
waste stream from this information.
2.3. The Household Waste Recycling Centre at Ambleside is the only waste site
accepting waste under an Environmental Permit within the Lake District
National Park (LDNP), and there are none within the area of the Yorkshire
Dales National Park (YDNP), as currently defined, that lies within the county
of Cumbria. The Environment Agency does not consider the wastes received
or removed from either National Park separately. All waste information
recorded is as a total for the county as a whole.
2.4. Waste movements are not the same as waste arisings, because they include
double, or even triple, handling of wastes in order to sort or bulk up loads for
transportation to their final disposal or recovery point.
2.5. Data on waste movements are required because sites are needed for all the
facilities, including waste transfer and bulking stations. However, legislation
and guidance requires arisings to be estimated, and waste exports to be
understood, in order to demonstrate that the WPA is making adequate
provision for the needs of the area, and not placing inappropriate burdens on
other areas.
2.6. In both the WDI and HWDI databases, the primary method is to establish
waste received at permitted facilities (or in the case of HWDI the receiving
authority), together with the originating Waste Planning Authority (WPA).
Waste received at permitted facilities has been identified as follows:
originates in Cumbria – i.e. managed internally and exported;
imported (including from Scotland) but managed within Cumbria; and
exported to Scotland, identified using the less accurate waste removed
function.
2.7. The WNA seeks to be clear about the terminology and the end use of the
derived data.
2.8. Waste “arising in Cumbria” = internal + exports. Double counting is useful in
assessing whether Cumbria is close to achieving “net self-sufficiency” and
making provision for its wastes, and also for developing predictions based on
growth profiles.
2.9. Waste “managed in Cumbria” = internal + imports (including double counting)
is useful in assessing what types of sites are being used now, whether they
are likely to run out of capacity, and whether more sites are needed.
2.10. Total arisings were estimated as the total of waste movements less the
estimated double counting. Double counted wastes were estimated by
examining the tonnages removed from individual transfer and treatment
facilities in Cumbria to other waste facilities within Cumbria. Waste imports
to Cumbria were excluded by the methodology; as a result, in some cases
waste removed was higher than waste received. In such cases, the lower
(waste received figure) was substituted.
2.11. This method is based on two methodologies that Defra supported, to
estimate all England waste arisings for construction and demolition (C&D)
and C&I wastes. It has been adapted for use in a sub-regional context,
where it was possible to examine data at individual permitted site level, and
where a broad method to split the key waste streams could provide “good
enough” information without seeking spurious accuracy.
2.12. Planning policies need to be sufficiently flexible to enable the waste sector to
develop appropriate provision; any sites allocated in the Local Plans of the
two WPAs will be available for fairly broad categories of wastes. However,
the need for landfills, both inert and non inert, has been a key output of the
WNA, with need for other management facilities being based on both growth
profiles, and potential rates for diversion from landfill, for the different waste
streams.
2.13 This WNA seeks to:
establish tonnage and types of waste managed in Cumbria, imports
and exports, by analysing waste movements;
estimate the tonnage of each waste stream arising in Cumbria (taking
account of double counting of waste moved through transfer and
treatment facilities);
assess the balance of waste exports and imports, and consider
whether further provision should be made for wastes currently being
exported, or whether to focus primarily on ongoing management of
current internally arising and imported wastes;
establish the tonnages going through different categories of waste
site, and the volumes of waste to landfill; and
investigate the potential changes in the above factors that may lead to
a need for additional waste sites within the areas overseen by either
WPA, i.e. within the county of Cumbria.
3. Defining key waste streams
3.1 The waste movements have been split into the key waste streams, using
the simplest categorisation capable of identifying the need for new waste
facilities, including the identification of waste streams that have different
growth and management characteristics, for which appropriate growth
profiles are required to enable any predictions of future waste needs.
3.2 The key split is “inert”, “non-inert” and “hazardous”. Although the EA WDI
has a hazardous waste category, the figures in the HWDI are much more
accurate, and all hazardous data in the WNA derives from the HWDI.
3.3 The basic category of inert can be further split into Construction and
Demolition (C&D), and Excavation (E) waste. This is essential, because
the landfill versus recovery ratios are very different for these two streams,
and their growth profiles may also be different. The WNA uses the
Substance Oriented Classification (SOC) level 2 headings embedded in the
WDI, as seen in Table 1.
Table 1: Waste types (SOC) within CD and E streams
Construction and Demolition Excavation
Construction and demolition wastes Dredging spoil
Glass wastes Soils
Plastic wastes Waste from waste treatment
Metal wastes, ferrous Various mineral wastes
Metal wastes, mixed ferrous and non ferrous
Waste of naturally occurring minerals
Metal wastes, non ferrous
Wood wastes
3.4 In the WDI, the non-inert category is called Household Industrial and
Commercial (HIC) and includes Commercial, Industrial and Local Authority
Collected Waste (LACW). These have been separated using European
Waste Classification (EWC) chapter headings. Chapter 1-19 wastes are
considered to be industrial wastes, and Chapter 20 wastes to be
Commercial and LACW.
3.5 This simple criterion was considered adequate for this WNA, even though a
number of categories within Chapter 19 may in fact be household wastes.
The most significant category is refuse derived fuel (RDF), which has an
EWC code of 191210, but within Cumbria is entirely derived from Locally
Collected Household Waste (LACW). A separate analysis of this material is
included in this WNA.
3.6 The industrial waste stream, as defined in this WNA, includes waste taken
into the waste management sector from waste water treatment plants and
the agricultural sector. The 2014 WNA (based on 2013 data) investigated
the agricultural sector, and the wastes that are managed by the sector itself,
and it is not considered necessary to re-address these wastes in the current
review.
3.7 A separate data base managed by Defra, called Waste Data Flow, gathers
information about LACW movements, and these can be deducted from the
combined Commercial (C) and LACW stream, to obtain an estimated
commercial waste stream.
3.8 Commercial and LACW waste have similar characteristics and can
theoretically be managed in the same type of facilities. The Mechanical and
Biological Treatment (MBT) plants provided under contract with the
Cumbria PFI waste contractor (Shanks plc), accept LACW only. The Local
Plan, and this WNA, will need to address the provision of major waste
infrastructure for LACW, including the potential need for secondary thermal
treatment for LACW leaving the MBT plants. Such data will be obtained
from the WDI, and also from Waste Data Flow.
3.9 However, transfer and landfill facilities provided by Cumbria Waste
Management Ltd (CWM), a wholly owned subsidiary of Cumbria County
Council, accept both waste streams. Assessment of general waste
management needs can, therefore, be focused on the combined C and
LACW stream.
4. Waste arising in Cumbria
4.1 This Joint Waste Needs Assessment addresses whether adequate
provision is being made for the waste arising in the county of Cumbria,
including within the Lake District National Park. Waste arisings are
defined as those originating in Cumbria, and managed either in the county
or exported to other areas.
4.2 Table 2 shows the tonnages in each of the key waste streams arising in
Cumbria. The LACW stream is accurately measured without any double
counting, but the other streams have been reduced to reflect double
counting at transfer and treatment facilities in Cumbria.
Table 2: Waste arising within Cumbria in 2014 (tonnes)
Waste Stream Tonnes
Local Authority Collected Waste 266,212
Commercial Waste 204,683
Industrial Waste 359,589
Construction and Demolition Waste 176,043
Excavation Waste 438,066
Hazardous Waste 22,691
TOTAL 1,463,284
4.3 The total includes waste arising in Cumbria but exported to other areas for
management. Table A1 in Appendix A separates the waste arising in
Cumbria into those managed internally within Cumbria, and those
exported to England (266,416 tonnes) and Scotland (61,546 tonnes). It
also shows the type of facility (e.g. landfill, transfer or treatment facility)
that managed the waste.
5. Waste managed in Cumbria
5.1 The tonnage of waste received at Cumbrian waste facilities in 2014 is
shown in Table 3. Table A2 in Appendix 1 also shows the type of facility
that managed the waste.
Table 3: Waste managed within Cumbria in 2014 (tonnes)
Waste Stream (all figures in tonnes) Internal Imports Total
Commercial and Local Authority Collected Waste
537,937 13,171 551,508
Industrial Waste 239,078 65,411 304,489
Construction and Demolition Waste 196,920 187,067 473,486
Excavation Waste 454,576 18,910 383,988
Hazardous Waste 3,289 13,370 16,659
TOTAL 1,431,799 297,930 1,729,729
5.2 A total of 1,431,799 tonnes is recorded as managed internally, as opposed
to 1,135,323 tonnes of waste arising managed internally in Table A1, and
this reflects the estimate of double counted movements described earlier.
5.3 Approximately 22% of C and LACW, 16% of Industrial wastes, 19% of
C&D wastes and 11 % of Excavation wastes, were managed at more than
one Cumbrian facility1. However, these movements and the facilities
where they are received are the sectoral response to the geography of
Cumbria and need to be accommodated.
5.4 This WNA, therefore, examines how the future need for waste facilities
within Cumbria is likely to develop between 2015 and 2030, how the
current facilities could adapt to such future need and whether sufficient
sites have been identified through Local Plan processes in the county.
5.5 Increases in the need for waste facilities could arise from:
i. Increases in waste arising in the county;
ii. Increased waste imports;
1 See Tables A-4 and A-5 in Appendix A of this report for estimations for the household, industrial and
commercial streams (i.e. non-inert wastes) and the inert waste streams
iii. Decreased waste exports;
iv. Changes in the waste management mix, e.g. increased diversion
of waste from landfill could require more waste management
sites, but reduced landfill void space; and
v. Changes in logistics, i.e. increase in the use of bulking and
transfer facilities.
5.6 The first element above has been addressed by looking at: historical
waste data for Cumbria in comparison with economic data; economic
predictions for Cumbria; and also at future house building and
infrastructure plans.
5.7 Section 6 examines the current imports to, and exports of waste from,
Cumbria and considers:
a) whether the county is close to net self-sufficiency in managing its
own wastes and if the obligation to manage the waste arising in the
sub-region is being fulfilled;
b) whether pressure on waste facilities is likely if exports decrease; and
c) whether new site allocations are required to manage specific
segments of these wastes.
6. Waste exports from Cumbria
6.1 Exported wastes need to be considered in order to assess whether
additional provision should be made within the county, and the research
conducted for this WNA has examined the amount, and the nature, of
exports of waste originating in Cumbria to other areas.
6.2 Figures 1 to 6 show that the proportion of waste arising that is managed
within, or outside Cumbria, varies across the different types of waste.
Figure 1: C and LACW arising in
Cumbria
Figure 2: Industrial waste arising in Cumbria
6.3 Figures 1 and 2 show that 53% of the wastes within the stream (Chapters
1-19 of the EWC) defined as industrial in this WNA, are managed outside
the county, whereas only 13% of the waste within EWC Chapter 20 is
exported.
6.4 Figures 3 and 4 show that the heavy and bulky inert wastes tend to be
managed within the county.
6.5 Imports of all the waste streams are shown in Table A2 in Appendix A, and
includes 187,067 tonnes of C&D waste. Detail shows that this tonnage is
largely composed of railway ballast from across the railway network, which
is cleaned and processed at Kingmoor rail sidings and exported again as
clean ballast for re-use. A similar amount was imported in 2013.
Figure 3: Construction and Demolition waste arising in Cumbria
Figure 4: Excavation waste arising in Cumbria
6.6 Figure 5 shows that only 14% of hazardous wastes arising within the
county are managed internally, but a significant amount is also imported,
as shown in Figure 6. The tonnage managed in the county is, therefore,
16,659 tonnes, whereas hazardous waste arisings are 22,691 tonnes.
Figure 5: Hazardous waste arisings including exports
Figure 6: Hazardous waste managed including imports
6.7 The comparison between exports and imports of hazardous waste was
examined in detail in the 2014 WNA (which relied on 2013 data). That
analysis highlighted the wide range, and relatively small amounts, of
hazardous wastes exported from Cumbria, but also that the management
of the wastes exported was generally a more sustainable way, in terms of
recovery versus disposal.
6.8 In December 2013, Cumbria County Council issued a “Duty to Co-operate”
consultation2. The 2014 WNA examined the responses from those waste
planning authorities who are recipients of hazardous waste from Cumbria,
and concluded that it was reasonable and appropriate for the County to
continue to plan for the types of hazardous wastes managed in Cumbria,
i.e. internal and imports, rather than seeking to make further provision for
those that were being exported.
6.9 This is not to say that no further proposals for hazardous waste
management should be considered in the county, but rather that no
significant capacity gap requiring allocation of a specific additional site is
evident. Sites identified in the Minerals and Waste Local Plan will be
looked at for their suitability for a wide range of waste facilities, including
those suitable for managing hazardous waste, and any applications that
come forward would be considered on their own merit.
6.10 The 2014 WNA also examined the exports of household, industrial and
commercial waste, i.e. non–inert wastes, and the two inert waste streams.
The data source for Commercial and Industrial Waste was a 2009 survey
of waste arisings across the entire North West region, which was
extrapolated to 2013, focusing on the Cumbria sub-regional returns. This
exercise was able to separate the commercial and industrial wastes by a
sectoral analysis within the survey. However, Figure 2 above highlights
the particularly high percentage of industrial wastes exported from
Cumbria, and a further examination of the destinations and types of waste
exported is considered appropriate.
6.11 Tables A6 and A7 in Appendix A show the waste exports within EWC
chapters 1-19 from Cumbria that exceeded 20 tonnes in 2014, firstly by
EWC waste description, and then by site. Categories that exceed 5,000
tonnes are highlighted in yellow. Exports such as metals for recycling
(approximately 18,000 tonnes of ferrous and non ferrous metals), sludges
from waste water treatment (28,660 tonnes), or end of life tyres (7,930
tonnes) are considered appropriate, given the specialist facilities and
relatively small amounts involved. Additional facilities for these particular
2 LD270 Waste Export Consultation Exercise, Cumbria County Council, December 2013
wastes in Cumbria would probably not be viable, due to the small arisings
and Cumbria’s geography.
6.12 The largest category of waste exports is “other wastes (including mixtures
of materials) from mechanical treatment of wastes” (57,553 tonnes), of
which 55,204 tonnes was received at the Niramax Group Ltd transfer
station at Monument Park in Tees Valley. A further 39,663 tonnes of
waste within Chapter 20 (broadly being considered as Commercial and
Local Authority Collected wastes) was also received at this site from
Cumbria (see Table A8).
6.13 The originating site and final destination and fate of these wastes are not
absolutely clear and no issues were raised by the WPA during the County
Council’s consultation exercise with receiving authorities in December
2013. However, it would appear that there is potential for such wastes to
be managed in Cumbria instead of being exported.
6.14 The 2014 WNA did discuss an apparent capacity gap in thermal treatment
(i.e. energy from waste) in Cumbria. This was for two reasons, firstly that
the C&I estimation method predicted that some 7,000 tonnes of thermal
treatment would be required for wastes originating in Cumbria in 2013,
and secondly, that refuse derived fuel (RDF) is being exported from
Cumbria from the MBT plants operated by Shanks Waste Management
Ltd at Barrow and Carlisle.
6.15 Table A7 shows 8,772 tonnes of RDF being exported from Cumbria. This
does not correlate with data on waste removed from Shanks MBT plants,
which shows 6,406 tonnes removed to Scotland (although some might
have been removed to the MBT plant there for consolidation), 34,420
tonnes removed to other UK destinations, 5,251 tonnes to Allerdale,
(which may have been a European export via the Port of Workington), and
39,388 tonnes moved within Cumbria that would appear to be double
counted.
6.16 Clearly, there is theoretical potential for the RDF from the MBT plants in
Cumbria to be managed in a thermal treatment plant within Cumbria. No
evidence has been found within the WDI to support the 2014 WNA’s
suggested capacity gap for thermal treatment for commercial or industrial
waste from Cumbria, because it does not indicate that these wastes are
currently being disposed of in incinerators or thermal recovery plants
elsewhere. The figures in the 2014 report were derived from data
extrapolated from the NW survey, and this included a category for thermal
treatment of this waste stream. However, at the time that the survey was
commissioned, there were no such facilities of this type in the county and
none developed since; therefore, the initial requirement is more likely
linked to the more commercial areas in the NW around Greater
Manchester and Liverpool. This is not to say that some wastes currently
exported to transfer facilities could not be managed in Cumbria if such
new facilities were developed. To manage waste more sustainably going
forward, there may be potential for the development of a thermal treatment
facility in Cumbria for managing both LACW and C&I wastes.
6.17 An assessment of waste exports to Scotland was undertaken, as the
County Council is aware of exports from the county that cross the border.
Tables A8 and A9 show the exports to Scotland. This information needs
to be derived from data on wastes removed from sites, rather than
received, and are less reliable than the other data considered. However,
the waste fate can be established on such queries, and show that a good
proportion of this waste is to recovery, and none is to landfill or
incineration.
6.18 Taking all of the exports and imports into account3, Cumbria is close to net
self-sufficiency, with exports being only 40,000 tonnes more than imports
in 2014. This situation would be reversed however, if the railway ballast
cleaning facility at Kingmoor marshalling yards were to close. There is
currently no indication that this will happen.

7. Waste growth profiles
7.1 The 2014 WNA addressed waste growth and need for facilities in Cumbria
through an excel model of the capacity and mix of waste management
facilities likely to be needed over the Plan period. Chapter 10 of the 2014
WNA explained the approach taken in forecasting change in waste generated
in Cumbria, and also in estimating the potential effect of future changes in
waste management practices on the need for waste facilities. Future arisings
were estimated using forecasting by Experian Ltd, which is used by all the
Cumbria Local Planning Authorities in forward planning. House building
plans in the county were also used to estimate growth in local authority
collected waste (LACW). This updated WNA, seeks to address further
questions raised following that analysis, whilst also building on the detailed
work for the previous WNA.
7.2 Two key questions raised in representations to the February 2015 draft
MWLP consultation, were: firstly, was it reasonable to estimate waste growth
on employment rather than economic (GVA) data; and secondly, was it
reasonable to include potential decoupling of waste growth from economic
growth via a waste reduction factor. A requirement for more detailed
consideration on the need for landfill in the county was also identified. This is
included as section 9 of this report.
7.3 In order to consider waste growth profiles, historic data from the Waste Data
Interrogator for previous years has been examined. Figure B.2 (see
Appendix B of this WNA) shows wastes managed in Cumbria from 2006 to
2014, and illustrates a “double-dip” recession in 2009 and 2011.
7.4 Figures B3 to B7 in Appendix B, show historic data for the separate waste
streams managed in Cumbria (i.e. received at Cumbria facilities).
Numerical analysis of the same data in Table 4 shows that the average
annual rate of growth4 (CAGR) for all waste steams managed in Cumbria
from 2006-2014 was 2.84%; however, the different waste streams have
not changed by the same rate. This analysis also demonstrates some of
the difficulties in estimating future growth profiled on historic data.
4 Compound Annual Growth Rate(CAGR)
7.5 Given the extended recession, historical trends should really be
considered over the longest possible timescale. However, due to
improvements in waste classification and recording in the WDI, data
before 2009 is less accurate and harder to split into component streams.
2006 data for HIC, and for wastes arising rather than managed (see
Figure B1 in Appendix B) appear to contain significant anomalies. The
graphs for separate streams in Appendix B are, therefore, shown from
2007 onwards only, and 2006-2014 growth rates in Table 4 are shown for
the combined HIC stream.

7.6 There is some relation to overall GVA, but it is not clear whether recent
increases are largely due to economic recovery, and/or whether waste
growth profiles are likely to level off in future, or continue to rise.
Forecasting to 2030 requires some understanding of the separate waste
streams, and of the factors that have influenced the historic changes.
7.7 Data about waste collected by Cumbria Local Authorities from the
kerbside and Household Waste Recycling Centres is available from the
separate Waste Data Flow database, and waste arisings since 2006/7 are
shown in Figure B4 (Appendix B).
7.8 The amount of household waste collected by District Councils in Cumbria
fell by an average annual rate5 of 3.55% from 2006/7 to 2014/15 and the
amount of municipal waste, which includes some trade waste, fell by
3.48% per year on average, across the same period. This reduction was,
5 Compound Annual Growth Rate(CAGR)
however, largely in the first two years, and the quantity of waste collected
has remained very stable since that time.
7.9 The 2014 WNA modelled ongoing LACW growth based on an additional
40,780 dwellings between 2013 and 2032, as planned by the Cumbria
local authorities. This gave an annual growth rate of 0.83%. A reduction
in household waste per head of 2% to 2020, and 1% from then to 2025,
was modelled in the 2014 best case scenario. The 2015 WNA review has
modelled a highest scenario without any waste reductions per head, but
no change to the new dwelling scenarios.
7.10 From 2006 to 2014, the combined HIC waste stream appears to have
fallen by 1.85% a year. However, the data for the separated HIC streams
from 2007-2014 shows household and commercial waste growing by
5.67% per year, and a rise in Industrial waste of 8.36% per year, on
average. Given the reduction in LACW waste, this shows a strong rise in
commercial waste, but also demonstrates that choosing the most suitable
start data for trend analysis is problematic when the long term data is
suspect.
7.11 Table 5 is reproduced from the 2014 WNA, and shows the Experian
econometric forecasts that were used, with 2013 baseline data, in the
2014 WNA model of waste growth for commercial and industrial waste and
also for inert (CD&E) waste.

7.12 Whilst the 2014 scenarios quoted in the 2014 WNA were based on
employment rather than output predictions, the output based forecast for
these streams in Table 5 do appear to reflect the 2012-2014 commercial 6 2014 WNA. Table 10.3 – Assumed Annual Growth Rates and Waste Reduction Rates: C&I and
CD&E
and industrial growth profiles in Table 4. Following the historic analysis in
this report it is, therefore, considered that predictions based on output are
appropriate for the commercial and industrial waste streams.
7.13 The situation for inert wastes is, however, quite different, and inert wastes
are a significant component in the growth in overall wastes managed in
Cumbria since 2007. Table 4 shows that inert wastes had a combined
inert growth rate from 2006 to 2014 of 11.46%. Within this, total
construction and demolition (C&D) wastes grew from 2006 to 2014 at an
average rate of 25.42% per year.
7.14 National planning guidance7 suggests that these increases represent
improvements in recovery of construction, demolition and excavation
wastes as a result of regulatory changes such as the Aggregates Levy, the
landfill tax, and producer responsibility measures. PPG advises waste
planning authorities to assume zero growth for C&D in Local Plans from
this point onwards, except where major regeneration projects are
anticipated. This approach is supported by some stabilisation of C&D
waste tonnages in 2013 and 2014.
7.15 Excavation waste increased at 5.76% per year on average between 2007
and 2014, but there was also significant increase in excavation waste
between 2013 and 2014. The growth in excavation waste is also likely to
be related to major infrastructure and/or to economic recovery, and may
also represent soils being re-used and recycled that were previously
managed less sustainably and in unlicensed sites, again due to better
regulation. Further large increases in excavation waste are likely in
Cumbria as a result of major infrastructure development, with some
indication that approximately 2.5 million cubic metres of excavation spoil
may arise as a result of new nuclear development, the NW Coastal
Connections Project and other development; such forecasts and the
estimated timescales for the projects are incorporated into the modelling
for this WNA.
7.16 The scenarios used in this 2015 review of Waste Needs have considered
inert waste in the light of: the GVA output predictions; zero growth; and a
scenario that sees inert waste rise to include an additional 2.5 million
tonnes (Mt) compared to zero growth.
7.17 The tonnages of hazardous waste managed in Cumbria have reduced by
7.5% per year on average since 2007, even though hazardous arisings in
Cumbria have risen by 18.6% in the same period. The 2014 WNA showed
that exports of such wastes out of Cumbria have clearly increased, and
concluded that this should be accepted as a sustainable and market led
approach.
7 PPG chapter 28, paragraph 033 (ID: 28-033-20141016)
7.18 PPG advises that extrapolating time series data on hazardous waste is
appropriate8; however, assuming continuing increases in exports to other
areas in the UK is not consistent with the Duty to Co-operate. Even
assuming constant tonnages of hazardous waste needing to be managed
in Cumbria, but based on a historically low 2014 total, would be imprudent.
The average tonnage over the last 5 years is shown in Table 4 and
provides a prudent baseline for growth to 2030.
7.19 Defra’s Waste and Resource Statistics9 provides some indications that
economic activity is showing signs of decoupling, which would imply that a
waste reduction factor should be included when establishing predictions.
Growth Profiles
7.20 Based on the considerations above, and developing on the scenario
building in the 2014 WNA, three broad scenarios have been developed:
with a high, medium and low growth scenario for each waste stream at key
points within the Plan period. The details of each scenario are included in
Appendix B as Tables B8, B9 and B10 respectively. Table 6 summarises
the three scenarios, by reproducing only the estimated annual waste that
would be managed in 2030.

7.21 All of the scenarios use the Experian forecasts of GVA to predict the waste
tonnage for commercial and industrial waste, and all use the projected
growth in households to predict local authority collected waste. The low 8 PPG chapter 28, paragraph 034 (ID: 28-034-20141016)
9 Figures 1.8 and 1.9, Digest of Waste and Resources Statistics, 2015 Edition – Defra, Jan 2015
scenario uses the waste reduction estimates used in the 2014 WNA lower
bound scenario, and the high scenario does not apply any waste reduction
factors. The realistic scenario applies a low waste reduction/increased
efficiency factor of 0.5% a year to the commercial and industrial streams.
7.22 Both the low and the high scenarios also apply the GVA predictions to
inert wastes, as the 2014 WNA did; however, this is not considered to be a
realistic scenario, being too high for the zero growth recommended by
PPG, but too low to reflect the projected waste arisings from major
infrastructure projects in the county. The realistic scenario estimates
significantly increased excavation waste, plus increased construction and
demolition waste, that totals a 2.5Mt increase over the period from 2015 to
2030.
7.23 The analysis in Appendix B 8 -10, also models the volumes of waste that
are likely to be disposed of to landfill from 2015 to 2030. No improved
diversion of waste to landfill is assumed for the low or high scenarios. This
is a distinct departure from the 2014 WNA, and represents a highly
cautious approach to forecasting, because there are few if any legislative
drivers in place at this point in time, to implement such a change.
7.24 However, dialogue with waste operators, and other waste planning
authorities, confirms that the financial drivers for diverting waste from
landfill are strong. Therefore, the realistic scenario also considers what
would happen if the percentage of non–inert waste to landfill fell to 10% by
2021, and to 8% by 2026.
7.25 It should be noted that all the predictions will need to be reviewed and
monitored over the period to 2030.

Landfill capacity
8.2 Cumbria contains four non-inert landfills, and two inert landfills, but a
number of them have planning applications that expire during the Plan
period. Table 8 lists both non-inert and inert landfills, with the expiry date
of their planning permissions, and the void space at the end of 2014.
8.3 Both Bennett Bank and Hespin Wood landfills have expiry dates within the
next 5 years. Bennett Bank will close in 2017, and a revised restoration
plan has been given permission. Hespin Wood landfill, however, is part of
a waste management site with a wide range of waste facilities, and there
are no known reasons at present why a time extension for the planning
permission would raise significant issues.

8.4 It should be noted that the void space in the table above is not identical to
the capacity for non-inert waste, which is the capacity specified in
planning permissions. The EA has advised10that approximately 25% of
the non-inert permitted void space is likely to be utilised by inert waste.

e-mails from Environment Agency 22.10.13 and 3.7.15
26
This waste input is required for daily cap and cover of the non-inert (i.e.
biodegradable) waste and in final restoration of landfill sites, once non-
hazardous waste inputs cease. In practice, the percentage of void space
required for cap and cover and restoration varies between landfills, and
may depend on the level of inputs and the phasing of the landfill.
8.5 Table 8 estimates the non-inert and inert capacity available at non-inert
landfills in Cumbria on this basis, taking the baseline non-inert capacity at
each landfill to be 75% of the permitted void space. The right hand
column records the 25% of void space available for inert waste as cap
and cover. This has been taken into account when considering the
ongoing requirement for inert landfill over the Plan period.
8.6 15,000 m3 of void space was recorded in the EA void data at the end of
2014 as remaining at Distington landfill, even though the permission has
expired. Restoration is continuing at Distington, with significant thickness
of inert waste being used to enable tree planting. Table 8 includes this as
a need for inert waste for cap and fill.
8.7 In addition to the raw data in the WDI and HWDI, the Environment Agency
also provide data tables for each of the English regions, including the
North West. This information provides trend data for landfill capacity and
inputs are broken down to the sub-regional level, i.e. Cumbria. Figure 7
depicts the EA’s graph of landfill capacity from 2004 to 2014 from the
Environment Agency figures.
8.8 Figure 7 includes the capacity at both the inert and non-inert landfills listed
in Tables 4 and 5, but has not been corrected in light of operator and
other local information11. In addition to some inaccuracies in the non-inert
landfill void space, the peak in inert waste in 2009 is an error caused by
Derwent Howe Slag Bank being recorded incorrectly by the EA. The
graph also includes restricted user landfills that are now closed.
11
This is because data is only provided down to sub-regional level, and is not site specific, so adjustments cannot be made
27

8.9 In addition to the two inert landfills listed in Table 4, there are also a large
number of sites receiving inert waste under permits from the Environment
Agency. These include five minerals sites where inert waste was
deposited in 2014 for restoration purposes, and are listed in Table 6. Two
more mineral sites, at Goldmire near Barrow, and Silver Fields Quarry,
which is within the Flusco waste complex near Penrith, have planning
consents that rely on inert waste deposits to enable their restoration. The
volumes of inert waste to be input are 850,000m3 and 240,000m3
respectively; however, the timescales for such inputs are governed by the
needs of the operators and have to be estimated.
8.10 Table 9 lists the EA environmental permits for restoration or recovery,
which would be the destinations for such wastes, as at March 201512.
These projects are for construction, restoration of old quarries, agricultural
improvement or landscape schemes, and indicate an inert void space of
up to 300,000m3 (the volume:weight ratio is approximately 1:1.5), plus
unquantified tonnages defined as land recovery. It should be noted,
however, that EA permits are an upper limit, and tend to overstate the
volume to be deposited.

8.11 Disposal of inert waste under exemptions was addressed in the 2014
WNA; it is very difficult to estimate and is not covered in this study.
However, it is important to note that waste management via exemptions
will continue to happen and does provide a management option for inert
waste.
Thermal and non-thermal treatment
Other facility types
8.12 The 2015 WNA provides a comprehensive analysis of the waste capacity
that is available at the end of 201413.
8.13 Examination of consents and permits granted in 2014 shows that the MRF
and Transfer Station predicted for 2015 have been implemented. These
were classified as handling LACW, but actually also handle C&I waste.
8.14 The total figure cannot be directly related to the total quantities of waste
arisings, because waste may pass through several types of facility. The
2014 WNA model and report also tabulates facilities with temporary expiry
dates, which are deducted from the available capacity at the appropriate

Capacity has been based on a review of past throughputs at the site, with the highest recorded input being used, unless there is planning permission data indicating higher levels.

29
date, and examines the size and timing of potential capacity gaps arising for
the different types of facility.
8.15 Further capacity permitted by the EA under waste management exemptions
totalled 15,080,000 tonnes for agricultural activity, 1,702,000 tonnes for non-
agricultural only, and 6,497,000 tonnes for mixed agricultural and non-
agricultural activity. However, neither exempt arisings nor capacity have
been included in the baseline or predictions, because the levels indicated do
not necessarily represent the amount that is actually managed via this route
and there are no records to show how much waste is managed through
exemptions. This is considered to be a consistent and proportionate
approach.
Mixed recycling
8.16 This 2015 review considers mixed recycling for non-inert waste. The 2014
analysis showed an apparent capacity gap for mixed recycling for C&I waste,
but a very large over-capacity for mixed recycling facilities for LACW. In
practice, most of the county’s largest mixed recycling facilities accept both
waste streams, and there is no current pressure for additional facilities.
8.17 One MRF projected to close in 2019 has already closed, but the planned
replacement has opened as scheduled. One transfer station closed due to a
fire in 2014; however, temporary arrangements, including a temporary
building, have been permitted and implemented. Both of these facilities
handled LACW and were managed by Cumbria Waste Management, the
wholly owned subsidiary of the County Council, and essential provision was
not significantly affected.
Inert (C, D and E) waste recycling
8.18 The key processing facilities for aggregate production from inert waste
recycling, and the tonnage of aggregate produced, are monitored through
the Local Aggregate Assessment (LAA). However, this is a waste as well as
a minerals issue, and the 2014 WNA highlighted one transfer station for inert
waste, at Greenscoe Quarry, which has a planning permission that expires in
2025.
30
8.19 No capacity gap was identified in the 2014 WNA, but this should be kept
under review. A number of facilities are classed as transfer stations but do
also carry out recycling onsite; however, due to information presented in the
WDI, we do not get a full understanding of what is happening on these sites.
In reality, these sites do currently provide some recycling and processing
capacity for this waste stream across the Plan area. In addition, there are a
number of sites for re-use of inert waste that have been granted planning
through District Council permissions, i.e. Port of Millom and Distington golf
course. These facilities are providing an outlet for inert waste as reuse
through the restoration of sites. However, as there is not always the same
detail provided with these sites, it is not possible to identify exactly how
much inert waste is being managed this way. Table 9 provides a list of sites
known to be using inert waste in this way, and it is likely that similar sites will
come forward during the Plan period.
Composting
8.20 Two composting facilities have temporary planning permissions, expiring
in 2021 and 2019, and a capacity shortfall would develop if the time
extensions were not applied for and granted. The larger facility,
processing 75,000 tpa of municipal and C&I green waste, is within the
Hespin Wood waste management complex. The consent was linked to
the expiry of the landfill consent, on which, as already discussed, ongoing
non-inert landfill capacity is heavily dependent; the operator has been in
discussion with the Council and an application is expected in 2016. The
MBT plant within the Hespin Wood complex has consent until December
2039.
8.21 The expiry date of the Eden Organics Composting facility (processing up
to 25,000 tpa of largely agricultural green waste), was originally linked to
the expiry of Thackwood clay extraction consent, but this is now a
permanent facility. The facility is open windrow, but also has a liquid
waste processing facility within a modern building.
31
Thermal treatment capacity
8.22 The WNA 2015 shows a need for EfW; exported waste could then be
managed locally. Whether or not this leads to a demand for a new facility
within Cumbria, depends on: a) what annual capacity of plant is
economically viable; b) whether Shanks progress to supply Cumbrian
RDF to Ferrybridge MF EfW plant for the duration of the Plan period;
c) whether a joint LACW/C&I “merchant” facility could be established; or
d) whether businesses set up, possibly smaller, facilities adjacent to the
source of their waste arisings.
Household Waste Recycling Centres (HWRCs)
8.23 Four HWRCs are identified as potentially closing within the Plan period,
but only two new sites are allocated in the draft Local Plan. The
allocations are to replace three of the four identified to close, as they are
currently on sites too small for modern facilities or in locations that cause
significant adverse impacts.
32
9. Landfill
9.1 Having developed some estimates of the quantities of waste that may
need to be managed within the county, the next key point is to consider
how much landfill is likely to be required. Whilst diversion of waste from
landfill is a core policy aim, the Waste Planning Authorities do not
generally have much influence on such diversion (with the exception of
LACW), other than to enable development of alternative facilities able to
recycle and/or recover value from the waste, in appropriate locations.
9.2 In addition, landfills, especially non-inert landfills, are expensive to
develop and to run, and any plans for new landfills (if needed) would take
many years to develop, as they will form the proposed restoration option
of a quarry development rather than creation of new void through
landraise. This review therefore, considers landfill first, and then moves
on to consider what alternative provision would be required if the need for
landfill was to reduce significantly.
Landfill deposits
9.3 Figures 8 and 9 have been derived from the EA North West data tables
for 2014. They confirm that deposit of non inert (HIC) wastes in landfill in
Cumbria has fallen sharply since 2005. The likely cause for the drop in
arisings will be an amalgamation of factors. Initially, the impact of the
Landfill Directive and introduction of Landfill Allowance Trading Scheme
(LATS) had an impact on the levels of LACW landfilled, and this was the
driving factor for authorities to address how they were managing their
waste and how they could do this better. Measures such as increased
costs for disposals through landfill tax have also influenced this diversion,
and for all waste streams not just LACW. In addition, the diversion of
waste from landfill to recycling and recovery through the municipal waste
management contract for Cumbria has also helped to significantly reduce
waste to landfill. Although in recent years the data shows a slight
increase in inputs, a large proportion of this can be attributed to the high
levels of waste created as a result of flood damage, and due to the nature
33
of this waste, the only option available for management was disposal;
therefore, the increase in levels is not expected to continue going forward.
Figure 8: Inputs to non-inert landfills in Cumbria: 2005-2014 (all figures in 000s tonnes)
source: EA NW Data Tables 2014 - Landfill Input trends
9.4 Figure 9 looks at inert waste and the type of landfill at which it has been
deposited. This shows the smallest percentage requirement was for inert
waste disposal into inert landfill space, with greater proportions being
disposed of at non-inert facilities. Information from the EA has shown that
approximately 25% of capacity at non-inert sites is taken up by inert waste
as daily cap and cover and final restoration, which is why there are
significant levels of this waste stream managed through non-inert sites.
9.5 Only 10% of the inert waste that was landfilled in 2014 was deposited at
inert landfills. Furthermore, less than 2% of the total inert waste managed
in the county was deposited in inert landfills. The remainder is being
recycled (as aggregates or soils), used at non-inert landfills and for
restoration in quarries, or deposited at golf courses and other similar
developments.
9.6 Conversely, 90% of the inert waste deposited in landfills (and over 17% of
all the inert waste managed) in Cumbria in 2014 was into non-inert
landfills.

9.7 The use of inert waste in non-inert landfills is essential, but the 2014
increase would appear to be more than the 25% expected by the EA to be
used for cap and cover. It can be assumed that this proportion will
increase significantly during final restoration of any single landfill, and fall
again following the completion of the scheme.
9.8 Figure 8 shows all inputs to non-inert landfills over the same 10 year
period. Non-inert (HIC) waste (the red line) has fallen significantly since
2005, with a small increase in 2013 compensated by a further fall in 2014.
The increase seen in 2013 is likely to be due to the impact of flooding
across parts of the county. This caused significant damage to homes and
businesses, which produced levels of waste for which disposal was the
only available management option. The sharp rise in Inert/C&D waste
deposited in 2014 is indicated by the blue line, resulting in an overall rise
in landfill inputs to non-inert landfills between 2012 and 2014.
9.9 However, the overall trend in inputs to non-inert landfills is downwards,
and it is hard to predict at what level this may stabilise, or when further
sharp reductions in HIC/non inert landfill inputs will occur. Reductions to
date have been largely due to the implementation of the waste hierarchy
for municipal wastes, and a similar process in commercial and industrial
wastes has been predicted for many years.

9.10 The data on inert waste has also been split into excavation (E) waste and
construction and demolition (CD) waste; this is due to the different way in
which these wastes are managed. Table 10 highlights the success of
construction and demolition waste recycling in the county, with only 1.4%
being landfilled. A much higher percentage (33.6%) of excavation waste
is landfilled, but as we have seen, mostly in non-inert landfills.

9.11 It should be noted that when considering waste arising (i.e. internally
managed plus exports, rather than internally managed plus imports as in
this section of the WNA) there are additional landfill inputs from wastes
exported from the county. Only a small quantity of C&D waste was
exported direct to landfill, but an unknown quantity is likely to be landfilled
following export to transfer or treatment facilities outside the county.
9.12 All of these aspects are relevant when assessing future needs for both
non inert and inert landfill capacity.
Future needs for landfill in Cumbria
9.13 Increases in the need for waste facilities in the county could arise from:
i. Increases in waste arising in the county;
ii. Increased waste imports;
36
iii. Decreased waste exports;
iv. Changes in the waste management mix, e.g. increased diversion of
waste from landfill requires less landfill void space but is likely to
require more waste management sites;
v. Closure of current facilities;
vi. Changes in logistics, i.e. increase in the use of bulking and transfer
facilities
9.14 The complexity of these factors, which operate differently for the different
waste streams, means that modelling future needs for all waste facility
types is difficult and can easily be misleading. The 2014 WNA was based
on such overall modelling, and this study is intended to supplement that
analysis, whilst focusing in on particularly significant issues. The need for
landfill is a key component of this, and has been modelled to develop
some “what if” analysis that can assist in the Cumbrian waste planning
authorities understanding of the waste management needs of the county.
9.15 The potential impact of any closure of current facilities is considerable,
and has been addressed within the modelling, initially assuming that all
current void space is used in the landfills prior to their closure. At Bennet
Bank, this is considered reasonable because a closure plan with revised
restoration scheme has already been approved, and the site is now only
taking in waste for restoration. However, what proportion of inert to non-
inert waste is deposited cannot be predicted at this stage.
9.16 However, broad conclusions were drawn from such analysis, and
estimated landfill deposits can be deducted from the capacity at the end of
2014, in order to assess likely shortfalls (if any).
9.17 The scenarios developed, estimate the total volume of non-inert void
space required between 2015 and 2030 for each scenario modelled. The
preferred scenario, also known as the “realistic scenario”, provides an
estimate of the capacity required.
9.18 Assuming the EA estimate for 25% cap and cover is correct, only 650 m3
of inert waste would be required and a total of 3,241 m3 void space would
have been used, leaving 1,314 m3 void space at the end of 2030. The
time taken to plan and develop a new landfill is estimated as 7 years, and
37
on the basis of 10 year average inputs, this would mean that planning for
additional capacity would need to commence once the non-inert permitted
capacity fell to 2,269 m3, and the year in which this might occur could in
theory be estimated from the model.
9.19 It is possible that a larger amount of inert waste would be required as “cap
and cover” than the 25% estimate, because of restoration requirements
approaching closure; but neither this, nor the recent high volumes of inert
waste deposited, can be identified as an overriding need for specific
volumes of non-inert landfill at this stage. In the Cumbria context, the
location of landfills and the potential loss of any of the current landfills,
even if only on viability grounds, are more likely to be significant
considerations.
9.20 Landfill requirements, therefore, need to be considered together, to
ensure that there is sufficient capacity over the Plan period. To assist with
the assessment of need, a further scenario, with a levelling of industrial
waste growth to 1% after 2018 (because the current increase appears to
be a recovery from the 2008-9 recession) with a very large increase in
inert waste to reflect the potential excavation spoil arising from major
infrastructure in Cumbria14, has also been modelled.
14
There are known, potential developments over the coming years, which are likely to result in an increase of inert waste due to engineering works - this scenario looks at the short term effect of that
38
10. Summary
10.1 This assessment focuses on wastes managed, not wastes arisings, which
is a key factor to bear in mind when interrogating the data. The key
conclusions from this are set out in the following paragraphs.
10.2 The non-inert landfill void capacity for the 2015-2030 period, under all
scenarios, would be very finely balanced, even if Hespin Wood landfill
were granted a time extension at the end of its current expiry date. The
high growth scenario shows 176,000 cubic metres remaining in 2030; the
low growth scenario shows 433,000 m3 remaining.
10.3 The “realistic scenario” shows 1.7 million m3 remaining, but this is
predicated on non-inert waste to landfill reducing to 10% of the HIC
stream by 2021, and to 8% by 2026.
10.4 There is a theoretical requirement for thermal waste treatment capacity in
the county already, but this has not been provided; however, if diversion
of further non-inert wastes from landfill does become more viable than
landfill, there is a significant potential, and arguably a pressing need for
such a facility in the county. Some of the wastes currently being exported
to the North East of England, could also be managed in the county. The
Plan identifies areas where this could come forward.
10.5 No need for an additional mixed recycling facility for C&I waste is
identified, but the model shows this as an existing need required
immediately; however, this was based on an incorrect assumption that
existing facilities would either manage LACW or C&I and not both, this is
not the case. The capacity gap, therefore, disappears when C&I waste
and LACW are considered together, so no need would arise during the
Plan period if the existing facilities are utilised flexibly for both waste
streams, which is the case.
10.6 A need for additional composting facilities for C&I waste and LACW would
arise in 2020, if a time extension were not to be granted for an existing
facility. The existing consent would, however, automatically be extended
39
if the adjacent landfill were to be granted a time extension. The time
extension application is expected in 2016.
