Persimmon Homes fined…13 Apr 2022 23:38
HOUSING firm Persimmon Homes Ltd has been fined more than £400,000 for a string of environmental offences at a Gwent building site.
Building work at the company’s Willow Court estate in Llantilio Portholey, north of Abergavenny, sent silt and contaminated water into the local watercourse between 2019 and 2021.
At Newport Magistrates Court, a judge said the offences showed a “persistent negligent failure” of the firm to address pollution concerns raised repeatedly by Natural Resources Wales (NRW), the nation’s environmental agency.
