Neath Rural District Corporation.

1999 |
First planning approval given at NPTC |
|
2008 |
A planning application is made that identifies that the
land is contaminated, the chemical test and a human
health risk assessment are included in a report
submitted to the NPT Planning Department. The site is
misrepresented in the report with its historical use
defined as fields. This information is a 'desk top'
study taken from ordnance Survey maps |

2008 |
Mike Cuddy of "The Cuddy Group" makes a
donation of £10,000 to the then local labour MP, Peter
Hain which Peter failed to declare it. This coincides with
a planning application for development at the site to
the council which at the time was Labour controlled. |
|
|
2008-2010 |
A series of plans designed to remove the requirement for
further testing or remediating the land take place. The
chemical test remained buried on the planning website
until found and highlighted by residents in 2020. in the
planning meeting P2020/0195, the Contaminated Land
Officer identifies that the test in 2008 was
insufficient to quantify the level contamination which
identifies that the Environmental Protection Act 1990
was breached in 2010. The breach was first suggested to
the council in April 2020 and information to confirm
this was submitted to the planning committee on 7/9/2020
in the form of a document.

circa 2005 & 2013
|
2003-2014 |
The Cuddy Group Ltd tipped industrial waste at the site
without regulation, sometimes in the middle of night and
regularly they would backfill suggesting they wanted the
waste to be buried deep. Residents have witnessed
barrels they suspect contain chemical waste buried on
the site. |
2015
|
2014-2017 |
The Cuddy Group Ltd continued tipping industrial waste
at the site, this time with a Natural Resources Wales
licence for tipping only inert materials. |

Neath Port Talbot Council requested to investigate
the actions of the Cuddy Group and to undertake a
feasibility study to see if the land was suitable for
housing.
|
|
"A source within the Cuddy group has indicated that the group have no intention of
building houses on this land, that the land is of more value to the Cuddy Group as an
area for waste disposal and the placement of houses on the site is a cover for the
disposal of this waste. It is our concern that the Cuddy group will continually dump
soil and rubble on the land until there is an accident or disaster. I would ask that the
council undertake a feasibility study as to or not the land is suitable for housing.
I would also ask that the council undertake a risk assessment or investigation to
ascertain whether Mr Cuddy’s actions are of a dangerous nature to our persons
and/or properties." |
|
key information
relevance in the TIMELINE
P2016/0974 Cuddy submitted plans to tip for a further
12 months and an additional 6000 cubic metres. These
plans were refused by NPTC.
|
|
"There are also possible health hazards, we just don’t know what has been tipped on this land. Only
last year the Cuddy Group were acting suspiciously, digging holes, lorries then tipped
into the holes, then the holes were filled in. If they were tipping ordinary soil, why
would the Cuddy Group do this ?
The return email from Del Morgan suggested that I
" leave out the "suspiciously" part and simply write “Only last year, the Cuddy Group were digging holes, lorries then tipped “material”
into the holes, then the holes were filled in. |
2018 - no sign of an infrastructure
|
|
The fact that Cuddy submitted
plans to tip even more spoil on the site and that no
development infrastructure took place is proof that the
Cuddy group had no intention of building a housing
development on the site. Cuddy made the land unfit for
building purposes. Resident evidence taken in 2020
identified that Cuddy group tipped barrels of what is
believed to be toxic waste on the site. For video

- Email to Councillor Haulwen Morgan of Glynneath Town Council, (Brynhyfryd
resident) providing info about potential problems - flood risk,
land contamination, environment and asking to raise the question
in the Town Council. - pdf 20200319A-EM-RICD-GTCO-heulwen-enzo-and-play
Info supplied - " LAND CONTAMINATION the land contamination testing has only been done to 0.5 metres in most places,
it is an extremely shoddy attempt at testing for poisons etc. We know that Cuddy was dumping in the middle
of the night and digging holes, dumping to at least 4 meters and covering up the material dumped, both
actions raise alarm bells. No-one knows what is under the top layer soil."

We sent an email to the Council Leader Rob Jones informing him
that we have evidence that the council had broken the 1990 EPA
and that we were giving him a last chance to deal with the
information internally before passing it on to the police. He
then replied suggesting I go straight to the
police and offering the addresses of the relevant police chiefs
and Ombudsman.

Enzo Homes Development planning meeting - Prior to the meeting
the agenda failed to inform the committee of our allegations
that the council had broken the 1990 EPA so we hastily put

resident's group that the Planning Department have
committed malpractice in relation to the
development at Heol y Glyn and if they approve the plans
submitted to them then they are again rubber stamping
Planning Department malpractice. The plans are approved
by NPTC by the Planning Committee who include the former
Glynneath Councillor Chris Williams whose wife died an
un-natural death while living next to the site. In the
lead up to the meeting Councillor Williams refused to

In a 12 month long series of private messages and emails
between Councillor Steve Hunt, Dai Richards and the
Glynneath Town Councillor Jennifer Herbert, Councillor
Hunt in his role as Chair of the Regeneration and Sustainable Development Scrutiny
Committee agreed to ask a number of relevant questions
which the Head of Planning and Public Protection Ceri

specific scrutiny information in relation to each
question that identified potential malpractice by the
Planning department. He was also given relevant
information in relation to probable deaths from
contamination and pointed to the fact that the famous
actress Ruth Madoc lived next to the site. Ruth Madoc
subsequently died from potential contamination
causes. |
