GlosAIN says:

1Old, inflexible technology: The 25-year contract prevents new technological advances. Incinerators are being closed abroad. Flexible, cheaper, environmentally-friendly alternatives have not been seriously considered.

2 Overcapacity: DEFRA withdrew the county's PFI funding and says no more incinerators are required. GCC's waste predictions were incorrect. Waste is continuing to fall.

3 Resource Deprivation: Recyclable, scarce and irreplaceable resources will be destroyed 24 hours a day.

5 Location inappropriate for building size: The Secretary of State imposed a 15.7m height restriction on the site.

The incinerator would ruin the view from the Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
