To consider a report which outlines the main components of the current proposal by Covanta Energy Ltd for the construction and operation of an Energy from Waste Facility.

The Board considered a report which detailed the progress to date with the application for the construction and operation of an Energy from Waste Facility by Covanta Energy Ltd.  The report listed the main components of the current proposals and provided an overview of the key considerations which would be important in the determination of the planning application.

There had been wide consultation on the application which had generated numerous requests for clarification and further information to enable a full assessment to be made.  There were still important consultees that had yet to complete their considerations of the application and respond, which would result in further requests for information to be supplied by the applicant.  Because of this it was not yet possible to finalised the report and confirm the date the application would be considered by the Board.  It was agreed that Members should visit the site prior to the application being presented to the Board. 

RESOLVED:

That the report be received.
