The South West Devon Waste Partnership has been notified that SITA is withdrawing its plans for an Energy from Waste facility for a site in South Yard at Devonport, which leaves Ernesettle, North Yard, and New England Quarry facing the prospect of incinerators.
Mark Turner, project director for South West Devon Waste Partnership told the PRSD: “ We are naturally disappointed that SITA has had to pull out of the project. There are considerable challenges in putting forward proposals of this nature, and unfortunately it has not been possible to achieve a deliverable solution that will meet the needs of the partnership. There have been a number of complex commercial issues which could not be resolved.”
The partnership now has two companies proposing ‘solutions’ at three sites. These are: MVV Umwelt at Ernesettle and North Yard; and Viridor at New England Quarry.
There has been plenty of public opposition to the plans, and the way the plans were presented, in Ivybridge. Protestors also questioned District and County Councillor Roger Croad over his representation of the constituency.
