A COMMUNITY near Welshpool is united in its opposition to building an incinerator near it. On Tuesday night, May 11, more than 40 people logged into an online public meeting to give their views on plans to build an incinerator on the outskirts of Butttington. The meeting had been called by Trewern Community Council to help them come to an official view on the plans for a 12.8 megawatt incinerator with a 70-metre chimney and changes to nearby roads. Last month Broad Energy Wales, submitted the planning application for a “Energy Recovery Facility” which could produce enough electricity to power 20,000 homes. As a Development of National Significance the application will be dealt with by government planning inspectors rather than Powys County Council.
A councillor has called on opponents of a proposed waste incinerator to make their voices heard after plans for the Buttington project were lodged with the Welsh Government. On Monday, April 19 Broad Energy Wales formally submitted the planning application for a “Energy Recovery Facility” which could produced enough electricity to power 20,000 homes. The application is seen as a Development of National Significance and so will be dealt with by government planning inspectors rather than Powys Council planners. The 12.8 megawatt incinerator development includes other infrastructure buildings including a 70 metre high chimney stack and changes to the roads. During the next month Powys County Council and the community will be given the opportunity to consult on the plans.
