Moving builder's rubble and other inert waste will cost between £.5M and just under £1M to shift, if plans for a temporary stockpile at Longue Hougue go ahead.

Guernsey Waste is seeking planning permission to store rubble and soil, known as inert waste, at Longue Hougue, in a series on mounds and an extension to the seaward boundary walls, known as a 'bund.'

Guernsey Waste say the 'hill' created will be extensive, roughly the size of 2.5 football pitches, and just under 30 feet high.

It is a temporary solution while a new place to recycle and dump this kind of waste is identified and given political approval.

The three contenders are the beach south of Longue Hougue, the reservoir quarry behind it and Les Vardes quarry on the west coast.

In a series of written questions to Guernsey Waste, deputy Sasha Kazantseva-Miller has found out that removing the rubble mounds will cost between £400,000 and £900,000, the latter the cost to take it by road to Les Vardes.

Guernsey Waste estimates that it will take several years to relocate the material that can't be recycled or re-used and it is making contingencies to fund that.

A decision on whether to allow the stockpiling of inert waste at Longue Hougue will be made at an Open Planning Meeting on 22 July.
