Many of my constituents have approached me about the proposals for the North Lincolnshire Green Energy Park and the adverse impact this will have locally. Although the proposed site is not within my constituency, there are neighbouring residential areas I represent who have raised grave concerns with me about the proposed development's impact on the wider environment, amongst other things. Constituents have expressed concerns that the proposal is an over-intensive form of development, both in scale and appearance, not suited to the local area. Despite not being included in the North Lincolnshire Local Plan, the proposed site is essentially open countryside therefore the development would adversely impact the surrounding landscape. Naturally, many of my constituents are also concerned about the environmental impact, particularly on the potential operation of a site of this scale emitting unacceptable levels of air pollution adversely affecting local air quality and human health by incinerating household waste that may contain toxic metals and fine particulates. My constituents are also concerned about the impact the site will have on local infrastructure, including traffic and transport as well as residential amenity. Because of the inaccuracies in the application and a lack of information, I am requesting a holding objection. Holly Mumby-Croft MP
