Consultation starts on a permit variation application in Horsham
The Environment Agency is holding a public consultation on an application from Britaniacrest Recycling Limited for an environmental permit variation. The variation is to add mechanical sorting and an energy recovery facility to their site off Langhurstwood Road near Horsham, West Sussex.
Wealden Works Recycling, Recovery and Renewable (3Rs) Energy facility would be capable of treating up to 230,000 tonnes of non-recyclable non-hazardous waste each year from homes and businesses across west Sussex and its neighbouring counties. Asbestos can also be accepted and stored but will not be used in the energy recovery facility. Electricity generated by the energy recovery facility will be exported to the local electrical grid.
