LIVE: Lee Mill incinerator plant plan to be discussed by council

“It was refused. I mean... Ivybridge and Lee Mill. Big guns there. Make a nice swimming pool though.”

“Refusal of application: Good decision one and all

This is how it should be done - the people were listened to and common sense prevailed

I only wish I lived under the council control of Devon County and not the pathetic wimps who voted for the incinerator in Plymouth”

“@johnyboy

Why the need for two incinerators then? If the one in Devonport is twice the size it needs to be for the whole of South West Devon, so it has plenty of room to import waste from commercial and industrial sources as well, then how can a second incinerator be justified?

It sounds like big business seeking big profits to me.

Langage farm leads the way with a more sensible approach to turning waste into power and recycling the remainder. Improved recycling would knock the UK waste figures for six anyway.

Once the EU finally decides that the ash from incineration is not 'inert' and the cost of disposal goes up and up just watch big business scurry to find something other than incineration so they can keep their profits high.”

“Great go ahead we need to get rid of rubbish and this looks like the right place and way to go.
You will always get the nimby`s we will all benefit from the plant so do it.”
