Having reviewed the proposals for the LTC, we note that one of our operational sites where we hold a leasehold interest, will be compromised during the works period. Title Numbers EX845758 and EX569157 will both be affected. Our sheer (scrap processing machine) and vehicle parking/storage area form part of the temporary works area and will be subject to permanent rights after completion of the construction period. It would have been beneficial to select another area of the wider land-take so as to avoid any longer term operational issues or claims for business interruption, that are likely to arise as a result. Due to personnel changes within EMR, this matter was not raised sooner, however we make these representations now in good faith and would welcome discussion around the proposal and any set-down areas, temporary or permanent land that will conflict directly with the commercial operation of the East Benfleet Scrap Yard.
