20250904A-WBVI-empirical-pub	1937-1938	Earliest date that the site was first used as for landfill. At this time it was thought to be owned by the Neath Rural District Corporation. Source video interview with the granddaughter of the original site manager* & and residents testimonies. This information is included as part of the following residents evidence video. Please click on the link to the left to view this..............
	1999	First planning approval given at NPTC
	2003	Planning approval that allows the Cuddy Group 12 months for import of material onto the site.
	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 Hain failed to declare. 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. council-of-death-report - CLICK HERE
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. Sites from where the waste was imported are believed to include BP Llandarcy and Neath General Hospital.
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.
20160426A-WBCTEM-eddie-jones 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.	2016	"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	2018	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.

	2019	The Cuddy Group went bankrupt
	2020	Enzo Homes have bought the land and submit revised plans to NPTC. Enzo Homes are at this point in time due to appear in court for breaches of planning regulations at the development in Penllegaer, Swansea..
