I have concerns regarding air pollution, both with CO2 and particulate matter. The fly ash will be toxic and require special landfill sites. The scale is far in excess of local requirements and the small amount of energy generated does not justify the massive impact on the environment. The atmospheric pollution will have a serious adverse impact on the residents and tourist industry of West Norfolk due to the prevailing south-westerly winds. The electricity claimed to be produced by this facility could be generated by five 10 megawatt wind turbines with minimal pollution. This facility could reduce recycling rates as it will need more fuel than that provided by non-recyclable material.
