Metheringham Waste and Street Scene Depot Expansion Project

Description

From 31 March 2026, all waste collection authorities will be required to provide a weekly food waste collection from all households. To enable NKDC to meet this new requirement an expansion of the current hard standing area to accommodate new refuse lorries is required. The Council has ownership of an approx. 1.1ha area of land adjacent to the current waste and street scene depot on Scoley Court, Metheringham. The principle of the proposal is to expand the current hard standing area onto the area of land and provide a secure site, including permitter fencing, lighting and CCTV, to accommodate new refuse lorries to assist in providing further services within the district. As part of these works the Council also require the construction of an access roadway to Lincolnshire County Council Highways adoptable specification and standard from Scoley Court to the private land to the North of the site. Furthermore, The Council have ownership of an approx. 0.05ha area of land on Scoley Court, Metheringham. The site is currently unoccupied and finished with hard standing. The principle of the proposal is to create a new vehicular entrance into this area of land and provide an additional car parking provision for employees utilising the existing hard standing surface.
