This is an artist’s impression of the proposed incinerator, generating 51mW from 450,000 tonnes of industrial waste
There is a proposal to build an industrial incinerator/energy from waste plant at Barton Stacey. There is no planning application yet.
As a National Infrastructure Project, it will be managed by the Govt Planning Inspectorate, but HCC will be a consultee. I understand it is likely to be proposed as an application late 2019/early 2020, maybe later. Four county divisions are affected and having had initial discussions, I am hoping that we will be able to work cross party on a response.See more at https://infrastructure.planninginspectorate.gov.uk/projects/south-east/wheelabrator-harewood-waste-to-energy-facility/
Initial consultation runs until the 22ndMarch. go to Wheelabrator’s website for explanations and forms
Wheelabrator, with experience of energy from waste construction, are proposing to build a new waste-to-energy plant for industrial waste at the ‘A303 Enviropark’ at Barton Stacey.
It is proposed that the energy generated will power 110,000 homes from 450,000 tonnes of waste.
