Nottinghamshire and Nottingham Draft Waste Local Plan January 2022

The Planning Committee of East Leake Parish Council considered the above Consultation at their meeting and would like to make the following comments:

• In considering the relative merits of different methods of waste disposal, there should be recognition of the adverse impact of carbon dioxide emissions from incineration, and a strong commitment to carbon capture for this process.

• It is disappointing that there is no commitment to increase the amount of food waste dealt with by anaerobic digestion rather than incineration or landfill. In order to do this separate collection is required, and its introduction should be a key objective for Nottingham and Nottinghamshire at the earliest opportunity.

• Consideration should be given to creation of a “Resource Recovery Park”
including a “Household Waste Recycling Centre” at the Ratcliffe on Soar power station site, at the same location as the new incinerator, to minimise transport of waste and to increase opportunities for recovery, re-use and recycling using innovative technologies.
