    Hi all,

    Is it necessary for me to apply for a landfill / tipping license to remove excavated, non-contaminated sub-soil from my site to another location on the family farm?

    If a license is required, has anyone an idea of a license fee?

    Thanks

    Is the site still part of the same landholding, or has it been fully signed over?

    Top-soil or sub-soil can be moved within a landholding without a licence/permit.

    A COR (Certificate Of Registration) can be applied for to the EPA at no fee for the build up of material on a site in relatively small quantities (under 5,000 tonnes if memory serves) any amount above that will require a permit from the LA and anything over 25,000 tonnes needs a licence. Any build up or dig down in excess of 1m either way also needs planning permission.

    Thanks Uncle Tom.

    The site has been transfered to myself so it would no longer be part of the same landholding.

    I'm looking at approx. 2500 tonnes of excavated material so I will apply for a COR. Planning permission has been granted for the excavation dept.

    Thanks again.
