The planned facility would burn non-recyclable and non-hazardous domestic, commercial and industrial waste to generate electricity.<\/p>\n

It would provide 28.5MW of electricity to businesses at Churchill Magna Business Park as well as to Arena Way and Magna Road.<\/p>\n

A public consultation by the EA<\/a> was held last year.<\/p>\n

A statement by the agency said: “This permit will ensure that robust levels of environmental protection are applied. <\/p>\n

“Our permitting decision process is objective and based on the applicant demonstrating they will meet the legal requirements outlined in the permit.”<\/p>\n

The EA permit is separate to the council granting planning permission, although the plant could not operate until both have been granted.<\/p>\n

The area is already an active waste management site, alongside a former landfill.<\/p>\n

Thirty two people would be employed if the project goes ahead, according to the planning application.<\/p>\n

The council said 469 objections to the scheme had been received during the planning process.<\/p>\n

They included objections to building on green belt land, issues over transporting waste into the site and removing residue, as well as air pollution.<\/p>\n

Critics also pointed to the emissions of CO2 from the plant and that waste incinerators were considered the “dirtiest” way the UK generates power.<\/p>\n

The proposal is due to be discussed by BCP Council’s planning committee on Thursday.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The planned facility would burn non-recyclable and non-hazardous domestic, commercial and industrial waste to generate electricity.
