A Wolverhampton company ordered to pay £4,740 in a fine and costs for depositing controlled waste on Northallerton land without an environmental permit.

Wolfe European Limited, based at Deansgate, Tettenhall Road, Wolverhampton, appeared at Peterlee Magistrates' Court on May 20.

The hearing was told the company deposited unspecified controlled waste at Scholla Grange, off Bullamoor Road, Northallerton,  between December 12, 2022, and January 12, 2023, without proper authorisation under the Environmental Protection Act 1990.

According to court documents, Wolfe European Limited, represented by counsel, changed its plea to guilty.

In addition to a £1,600 fine, the company must pay a victim services surcharge of £640 and court costs of £2,500.

The court ruled the £4,740 total must be paid by June 17.

The firm's guilty plea was taken into account when setting the penalty.
