This project not only present significant issues in terms of impact to risk to health to the local population, but also significant environmental issues with its impact on local roads, traffic. Local food production businesses important to the employment of the area have already stated they will leave if this project goes ahead due to the contamination risk The plans are flawed there is nothing environmentally positive about burning waste rather than tackling the issue at source, the area does not have a waste need of this capacity & will merely be an importer of rubbish from elsewhere, bringing with it 100s of proposed vehicles & emissions transporting waste, creating further traffic issues & damage to local infrastructure. Also the proposal of placing this in an area which is both residential & has schools is totally inappropriate.
