Have any other alternative sites been considered?
Other sites were considered early in the feasibility process, but the site was ultimately chosen because it has been previously granted planning permission for waste management purposes, including use as an Energy from Waste facility, as well as being allocated as a ‘Safeguarded Site’ for waste management purposes in the Joint Waste Plan (March 2012). In addition, the site is located within an existing industrial site with good transport links and close to local businesses that could receive power and heat from the plant.
