1. Object to increased incineration instead of recycling and
composting - which would create more jobs.
2. Object to increased toxic emissions from the chimney.
3. Object to additional 106 HGV traffic movements every day.
4. Object to creation of an additional 30,000 tonnes p.a. bottom ash and
3,500 tonne per annum fly ash which will require disposal.
5. Object to import of waste from Derbyshire, Lincolnshire, and/or
Leicestershire. These Counties should manage their own waste.
7. Object to incineration of a wide variety of commercial and industrial wastes
in a furnace not designed for such varied wastes
Write / phone / visit the Councillors on the planning committee, these will ultimately vote YES or hopefully NO to the planning application;

Criminal Damage - A review of the performance of waste municipal incinerators in the UK Click Here
Summary
This report examines the performance of all the municipal waste incinerators currently operating in England. The information is taken directly from the public registers for IPC (Integrated Pollution Control) held at Environment Agency offices and the relevant local authority. Although this information is available to the public, it is dispersed across the country (and involves large amounts of paper which need reading, copying and interpreting, all of which is cumbersome and time-consuming) so it has, until now, been very difficult to compare the performance of incinerators against each other. The data in this report particularly focuses on breaches of legal limits on aerial pollution and total discharges of pollution per year. The report summarises this data and presents it in a form in which comparisons can be made.
Money to Burn - Pollution and Health Impacts on Incinerating Resources Click Here
Summary
The current UK Government, some local authorities and incinerator operators have recently embarked on a campaign to hoodwink the public into believing that waste incineration is somehow a green option for waste management.
Words such as "renewable", "recycling" and "sustainable", are being used by the authorities and the industry to describe the burning of mixed streams of municipal waste. Incinerators have been renamed and transformed into benign sounding "Energy from Waste" plants, the toxic ash they produce is "recycled" into road aggregate and burning discarded products and packaging is no longer a method of waste disposal but, according to the Government, a renewable energy source.
Cool Waste Management - State of the Art alternative to incineration Click Here
Summary
The aim of this study is to assess the possibilities for a system for managing residual waste which does not include any thermal treatment process. The study includes a review of mechanical biological treatment (MBT) systems and their potential effects.
MBT systems are not new. In their more primitive guises, they can be considered a basic evolution from the (usually failed) mixed waste composting plants of two decades ago. However, the potential for integrating systems based around biological treatment of degradable fractions with increasingly efficient mechanical separation techniques is a more recent development, as is the tendency to look to employ digestion techniques for the biological treatment phase as opposed to aerobic treatments.
