Search the Public Notice PortalRetrospective plans to expand a Suffolk recycling centre by six square kilometres have been submitted after works were already carried out.
J T Few Plant Hire Ltd submitted the plans for Malting Farm in Great Blakenham, near Ipswich, after an enforcement officer visited in October 2024.
They were informed that the newly developed land to the north of the existing site - which makes up more than a third of their 1.4 hectare premises- lacked planning permission.
A retrospective application has now been made to Suffolk County Council.
The site's operations include recycling inert waste and aggregates, muck shifting, haulage and crushing, and has around 45 employees.

A statement by the company said: "The site is necessary to ensure the continued success of our business, which has grown to employ around 45 people on site and has become a key supplier of recycled aggregates and soils in Suffolk."
The Environmental Agency said they did not oppose the plans, but they would need to obtain a new environmental permit.
