Incinerator to be built after government approval

Plans for an incinerator to be built on the edge of a North Lincolnshire town have been given the green light by the government.
The North Lincolnshire Green Energy Park application was granted development consent by energy secretary Ed Miliband on Thursday.
The plant will burn up to 760,000 tonnes of rubbish a year and provide power, heat and steam at the Flixborough Wharf site on the River Trent.
North Lincolnshire Council leader Rob Waltham said he was disappointed with the decision and the government had not listened to local residents.
A decision letter cited a "substantial need" for the electricity that would be generated and "positive benefits to employment and the local economy" among the reasons for the approval of the scheme.
The letter said these "outweigh the moderate adverse weight against the proposal associated with ecology and biodiversity, the moderate harm caused to heritage assets and landscape and the minor harm caused by emissions".
'Wrong location'
Waltham said: "I am disappointed that the government hasn't listened to local residents and the council and has given the go ahead for rubbish to be burnt at a massive plant in Flixborough.
"The council has been clear throughout the planning process that this is the wrong location for an incinerator that will be burning waste generated in other parts of the country.
"We will look at our further options to oppose this development that will be a blight on the area and increase traffic."
