Pre- Submission Draft Waste Local Plan

As mentioned in 7.15 - I urge that the additional 892,100tpa EfW incineration capacity, already planned for Nottinghamshire, be urgently reviewed as it will not be needed. If built it will mean that waste which would otherwise be managed higher up the waste hierarchy will be incinerated in order to provide feedstock for these unnecessary incinerators. This would contravene both the local and national waste strategy documents, legislation and policies. In addition the planned EMERGE facility at Ratcliffe on Soar (proposed capacity of 525,000tpa) will not provide heating so will probably not meet the required level of energy efficiency.
