In June 2025 the Administrative Court refused permission for a judicial review into the Council’s decision to grant a permit to Calder Valley Skip Hire (CVSH) for the operation of a small waste incinerator plant.
After an appeal against the Court’s refusal, permission for a judicial review was then given during a recent hearing at the High Court of Justice.
The Court ordered that there be further detailed analysis of the Council’s decision at a hearing late next year.
The Council recognises the continued uncertainty this would bring; both for the objectors and for CVSH.
After consideration of the court’s decision, the Council will now discuss the terms of a consent order with the lead objector. This will effectively quash, or cancel, the permit and means that a full judicial review will not be required.
CVSH will be entitled to have the permit redetermined which will allow reconsideration of the application.
