I object to the proposal because: It does not comply with national planning policy, including the national policy statements for energy, the National planning policy framework for waste and the U.K.’s adopted sixth carbon budget recommendations. The applicants have not as required, considered other potentially more suitable sites. Emissions from the proposal would present a potential hazard to adjacent residential areas and a large secondary school. The Application cannot be considered to have “green“ credentials, involving has it does the transport of hundreds of thousands of tonnes of waste from 9 County Councils and three unitary authorities, to a market town with already inadequate and congested road links, being away from the motorway and dual carriageway road networks and in proximity to a large secondary school.
