All the statutory consultees have objected - indeed Norfolk County Council passed a unanimous motion against the incinerator. The Wisbech incinerator will add to an existing over supply of incinerators in the East of England and us more than twice as large as a previously proposed incinerator, which was rejected. More waste should be reused and recycled, thereby not adding to the Net Zero problem - incinerators are, of course, against net Zero and will make meeting the carbon reduction targets more difficult. The All-Parliamentary Group on Air Pollution called for a moratorium on all new incinerators on health and environmental grounds in December 2021. What makes anyone think they should go against this? The initial consultation fell within a narrow radius of only 5 km and the impact will be on a far wider area - therefore this consultation was unfair to all those likely to be affected.
