Planning Officer Recommends Rejections of Incinerator Expansion
Jon Beresford | 11.09.2006 21:59 | Ecology
Today the Planning Officer made public the report and recommendations on the proposed expansion of Nottingham's controversial waste incinerator.
The report recommends rejection!!
Today the Planning Officer made public his report and recommendations into the plans to expand Eastcroft incinerator. This report will go to the Development Control Committee on the 20th September, when the report will be considered and the application voted on.
The Planning Officer is recommending that the Committee REFUSE PERMISSION on several grounds, mainly in that the proposals go against the City's plans for the River Side development and concerns on the commutative effect on emissions on people living near by.
As the vote is still very crucial, we will continue with our protest outside Nottingham council House on 20th September from 12:30am. We will greet the Councillors as they arrive and hope they vote for democracy, vote for the residents of Nottingham and vote NO.

What Next?
Although this is fantastic news, our fight goes on until these ridicules proposals are dead and buried. It is highly unlikely, but possible, that the committee could ignore the recommendation and vote to grant permission. The most likely outcome is that the committee will in fact agree and refuse.
Waste Recycling Group (WRG) could appeal if they have sufficient grounds. This we believe will be a futile and an expensive course of action and a burden on the Council Tax Payer.

If you can possibly support us please come along, this is a major victory for our campaign, but we have not yet won.
