HUNDREDS of objections have been lodged against plans for a low carbon energy recovery facility which if approved could power 8,000 homes a year, developers claim.
Eco Sustainable Solutions LTD wants to install the facility for the generation of electricity and heat through a “low-emission thermal process using residual waste” at their site in Chapel Lane.
Developers say the energy generated would be enough to heat 6,000 homes a year and power 8,000 a year.
The development will also include the recycling of 10,000 tonnes per annum of non-hazardous residual waste.
But it has been described as an “incinerator project” and an “unacceptable development”.
