The Environment Agency is inviting people to have their say on a permit to operate a new incinerator in Westbury.
The Environment Agency says, “Northacre Renewable Energy Ltd is seeking planning permission from Wiltshire Council to build an incinerator at Northacre Industrial Estate, Stephenson Road, Westbury. The firm has now applied to the Environment Agency for an environmental permit so it can burn non-hazardous waste.
“The Environment Agency has a duty to control certain activities which could harm the environment or human health. An environmental permit sets the conditions which Northacre Renewable Energy Ltd must meet when operating the proposed incinerator.
“The permit application and supporting documents can be found at: https://consult.environment-agency.gov.uk/psc/ba13-4we-northacre-renewable-energy-limited/. Responses can be made via the website by email to: pscpublicresponse@environment-agency.gov.uk quoting application number EPR/CP3803LV/A001 in any correspondence. Paper copies can be obtained by contacting the Environment Agency’s Customer Contact Centre on 03708 506 506. A charge may be made to cover copying costs.
“Comments must be received by 5pm on 22 January 2021. Please note only issues covered by the environmental permit can be considered in this consultation. All comments will be reviewed before a final decision is made on whether or not to grant a permit.”
