From July 2007 onwards residents of Anick and Oakwood have experienced unacceptable levels of noise from the new Egger plant. These have been moderated by actions taken by Egger following intervention by Tynedale District Council, but noise levels remain too high – and above the levels permitted by the planning conditions for the plant. However, the outcome is still awaited of further actions beginning 1 October to implement the recommendations of a survey by noise consultants employed by Egger and the effect of finally closing down the old plant, currently expected during October.
