Nobody wants a massive incinerator on their doorstep, it's ugly, smelly, and a huge source of CO2. However, as a nation we have a duty to deal with our own waste, rather than continue shipping it abroad for developing countries to handle. If this development is adequately managed, and the heat from the plant is given away for free to local properties (the electricity should be sold to the grid at the same rates any other input receives (4.1p/kWh for my solar excesses), then I see no issue with the development. But it should benefit local residents with free heating, as that is a largely useless and wasted resource otherwise. Naturally the usual stipulations around improvement to roads and infrastructure to compensate for the increased traffic should be a condition of any planning consent. As well as controls on the radius of any waste that is shipped to the site.
