Peel Environmental have been granted permission for Ince Resource Recovery Park

Myles Kitcher, Director of Peel Environmental said, “We are pleased with the decision of both Secretaries of State to grant consent for the Ince Resource Recovery Park. It provides a significant opportunity for the North West to be at the forefront of the UK’s low carbon industrial strategy and to benefit from inward investment and a range of new jobs. Against the current economic climate and drive for more carbon conscious development this decision couldn’t have come at a better time.

"We also recognise that capturing such opportunities brings the responsibility to work with and address the concerns of local communities. We are committed to working with local people to ensure that proposals are undertaken in an open and transparent manner with consultation and liaison throughout the development”

The reason for submitting this application to the Dti directly is that the RDF Power Plant will produce over 50 Mega Watts (MW) of electricity. The Secretary of State will following consultation with the Local Authorities and local communities decide on whether or not to grant permission for the RDF Power Plant.

Both applications were submitted alongside an Environmental Statement (ES), the purpose of which is to report on the findings and conclusions of the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA). This EIA includes a range of studies that demonstrate the likely environmental impacts of the proposed development, and the proposals we have made to mitigate against these impacts.

The ES addresses the issues associated with the RDF Power Plant and Environmental Technologies separately and also addresses the cumulative impact of both proposals together.

A Non-Technical Summary (NTS) of the Environmental Statement has been provided to give a brief description of the proposed development, and identifies and describes its potential significant environmental impacts.
