Planning Officer insists on wider public consultation for incinerator expansion

Forward NAIL | 08.01.2006 16:34 | Ecology

Waste Recycling Group (WRG) was not been entirely honest with their original planning application and 'omitted' vital details. Following a meeting requested by the Planning Officer with NAIL and WRG, we presented our objections and requested the omitted information. WRG were requested by the Planning Officer to provide these details. WRG have yet to submit this information, although it is expected imminently. The Planning Officer has said that, due to the importance of this further information, he will insists on a further 21 days public consultation period. This means that a planning decision is not likely until April this year.

See previous article on the expansion of the Eastcroft incinerator:

Below are the contact details for all of the councillors who are on the Development Control Committee, who will be voting to accept or hopefully reject the planning application, to build a third incinerator in the Centre of Nottingham.

Please take the time to contact them with your objections to this planning application. If they are your councillor(s), please also take the time to visit them in person at one of their surgeries.

You can contact them by post, email, telephone or personally. Legally they will not be able to express an opinion, they are obliged to be neutral and judge the planning application on its merits, however this does not stop your politely giving them your views.

Planning Application Ref. 05/01520/PMFUL3

Please tell them why you want them to object, reason could include;
a.. Nottingham should not be importing other peoples waste form the East Midlands
for incineration, it should be dealt with at source.
b.. Nottingham City Council should be aiming to improve on its appallingly low
recycling record, one of the lowest in the UK.
c.. Nottingham should be aiming to phase out incineration not looking to expand it.
d.. Incineration generates thousands of tonnes of toxic ash which has to be
landfilled at a toxic landfill site.
e.. The additional 106 vehicles movements present a serious traffic pollution and
congestion issues.
f.. Incineration causes harmful pollution to air, land and water. This seriously
puts Nottingham's residents health at risk. Incineration has been linked to many
health effects including birth defects. Nottingham is already 11th from bottom of
out of 303 Primary Care Trusts, for its rate high rate of birth defects.
g.. Nottingham City has a air quality issue, a third incinerator will only make
matters far worst.
h.. The current incinerators at Eastcroft have had 28 pollution breaches in the
past 4 years.
i.. Recycling substantially reduces pollution, conserves the earths dwindling
resources and prevents far more waste going to landfill than incineration.
j.. Recycling is a far more acceptable, socially responsible option.
Thank you Jon Beresford
