This is an totally inappropriate facility for this area. Bringing refuse from the Midlands to be burnt in the middle of a town does not make sense. The road structure in this area is poor. It takes 40 min to travel from Wisbech to Peterborough a distance of 22 miles. Why do we need a 95m tower to protect ourselves from emissions? Where will these emissions go... across the whole town or onto Kings lynn. No emissions is a minimum for this facility. And where does the waste go? It promises power production. Wind farms are better. And we have the space for that without producing emissions. This whole thing is a nonsense and if you had to live next to this plant.. Well you wouldn't. Ask the people if they want this and you would get a solid no. And that is not that I am NIMBY but it makes no sense to be in the middle of a 30000 populated town with a total of 60000 in the area. Move it to a more logical area with zero emissions as done in Scandinavian countries. Enough said. This is not a good thing. They failed in Kings Lynn with a smaller plant. Gone big to get past local planning. Do not let them get away with this. Don't poison us and ruin our already struggling road infrastructure. Dr D B FORSTER
