The Environment Agency is holding a public consultation on proposals for an energy recovery facility, otherwise known as a waste-to-energy plant, on land off the A31, near Holybourne, Alton. The proposals were tabled by Veolia ES Hampshire Limited in June last year to make major changes to the Alton Materials Recovery Facility. The site could see a 40 metre-high building with two 80 metre (260ft) chimneys. The proposed facility would be capable of treating around 330,000 tonnes of non-recyclable non-hazardous waste each year from homes and businesses across Hampshire and its neighbouring counties. The Environment Agency (EA) is now seeking comments on the company’s application from the local community and interested groups.
