The incinerator is a good idea in principle but placing it in the middle of a busy A47 will cause untold chaos for all surrounding roads as the additional traffic load will enhance the current high traffic conditions we face daily. There is no such thing as a completely safe and 100% efficient system that incinerates waste and the opportunity for noxious gases to escape into the local communities is relatively high. If the supplier is saying they are 100% safe then they are lying. Current filtration systems all have a chance to fail. Therefore the site should be placed in a position where prevailing winds can disperse any leakage away from the land. Perhaps a site that overlooks the various military live fire grounds would be more suitable as opposed to a highly populated and low social economical population who may have existing health conditions that could be triggered by reduced air quality.
