The proposed position of the incinerator and the associated equipment is far too close to residential housing and small light industrial units, I am surprised it has progressed this far. My main concerns are around the impact of air pollution, noise, light and odour to the surrounding areas. With the prevailing winds from the south west/west it is likely the Flixborough and the west of Scunthorpe will will be significantly impacted. I assume that a number of different weather scenarios have been modelled and are available to assess the impact and plume touchdown areas. HGV traffic will be increased (what goes in must come out!) on roads that were designed and built for local rural communities and are not suitable the current volume of HGV traffic, let alone, potential future volumes. Both the construction and operations traffic plans must be published for the local communities to understand the proposed routes and increased volumes. I am not sure how significant the single track railway line that has not been used for at least 40years is in the overall transportation scheme. It seems far from ideal to be operating the line between dusk and dawn due to the noise issues. I am looking forward to engage in the debate and to review and comment on the technical submissions.
