Closed Landfill sites

The request was successful.

Dear Norfolk County Council,

Norfolk has 151 closed landfill sites, I believe. Please provide details of the locations of the three closed landfill sites that are nearest to Surlingham RSPB reserve.

Closed landfill sites fall into three categories - those that:
closed after 16 July 2001
closed before 16 July 2001 and have a PPC permit/Waste Management Licence
no longer have a permit.

Which of the above categories do the three closed landfill sites that you will identify fall into?

Yours faithfully,

Miriam Asbridge

Information Management, Norfolk County Council
