The Environment Agency has taken enforcement action against Rowanoak Waste Services Limited following poor compliance, including the exceedance of their legal waste quantities. On 29 April 2016 their environmental permit was revoked, preventing them from moving more waste to the site.<\/p>

The revocation notice also required the removal of all waste on the site by 16 September 2016. Rowanoak Waste Services Limited failed to comply with this and the Environment Agency is now preparing to take further action against the company for non-compliance.<\/p>

The Environment Agency always looks to take prosecution action against an operator who is found to have committed a criminal offence and will always seek to ensure that it remediates any environmental impact caused by its illegal activity.<\/p>

The Environment Agency is working with the landowner, Dudley Borough Council and the West Midlands Fire and Rescue Service to minimise pollution and fire risk at the site and to have it cleared as soon as possible.<\/p>

By 16 November, in addition to claims which the Rural Payments Agency (RPA) cannot pay due to legal reasons such as probate, all but 6 claimants had received a payment, and of those 6 none are in Cumbria or the Copeland constituency. This figure is an increase of 1 compared to the previously reported figure because the agency is completing routine final checks on nil value claims.<\/p>

<\/p>

The RPA said it would investigate BPS 2015 claims where there is a discrepancy between the claim information and that held on the Rural Payments Service through a planned reconciliation process. This started after the BPS 2016 application window and looked at an initial stock of 13,607 claims for England. The agency continues to review new queries and has identified 1,200 claims relating to common land, of these 386 are in Cumbria and 73 are in the Copeland constituency.<\/p>
