County Gives Incinerator Final Approval

County Gives Incinerator Final ApprovalSpirited representations from Brian Catt, Peter Francis, Peter Crews, Malcolm Robertson and Cllr. Tim Evans were not sufficient to persuade the Planning and Regulatory Committee at County Hall from giving final approval for the construction of an incinerator (aka the 'EcoPark') at the Charlton Lane Community Recycling Centre. The approval was passed with a 7 - 4 majority.

Possibly the most irritating aspect of this decision is that our speakers, including experts in their various fields of chemical engineering and physics, knew a great deal more than the combined membership of the Committee itself. Once again, a cast-iron case against the construction of this belching, polluting edifice was trumped by the politics. A truly depressing, if predictable outcome.

It now remains to be seen what legal avenues are available to us by way of legal challenge; and these are being actively explored as we go to print.

    Nice to be reported as spirited :-). More than can be said for Chamberlain Stones. SCC PLanning always reminds me of the Skeksis court, Stones as Chamberlain.

    Don't you love planning chair and lead hypocrite NIMBY Keith Taylor, "defender of the Green Belt", but only in Shere where there is lot of it, not in our one green field betweem suburbs already overful with Surrey's garbage and no real exceptional circumstances to justify it. Not much more you need to know about Surrey Tories.

    This is how willingly power changes hands at SCC, just a vision to keep ypou awake at the next pre decided planning meeting.
