I consider the main concerns and impacts to be: - The effect of combustion energy generation on the environment, which goes against government plans for reduction of CO2 as part of climate change measures. - Burning Energy from waste is a backward facing technology that will soon become obsolete as more efficient microbiology approaches are introduced to lower landfill CO2 emissions. - The impact of the incinerator on local health, in particular children in schools in close proximity to the proposed site. - The propagation and increase in health inequalities likely to result, as schemes such as this are nearly always proposed in areas with significant deprivation such as Wisbech. - The impact on our local agriculture and wildlife.
