Harlesden Incinerator decision deferred again

This message from Peter J Lee of Ealing Planning Department means that the Harlesden Incinerator is OFF tonight's Ealing Planning Committee Agenda.

I write to inform you that it has been decided to DEFER consideration of the Energy Recovery Centre (known to many as the Harlesden Incinerator) application from this evenings meeting as we have not yet received the updated comments of the GLA following the Secretary of State’s decision to re-issue the HS2 Safeguarding Order to take account of their decision to proceed with the Northolt corridor bored tunnel option. 

As you know this re-issue did not take place until 24^th October 2013 and the GLA haven’t yet confirmed what their position is in respect of this change in circumstance which could have a significant bearing on their original Stage 1 comments where they raised no significant objections to the proposal.

Speaking from HEART on Harlesden Incinerator

Rita Taylor, speaking yesterday on behalf of HEART (Harlesden Environmental Action Residents and Traders)addressed the issue of the West London Waste Action Plan and the fact that the site chosen by Clean Power was NOT one of the 6 sites earmarked by the Plan for possible use for a waste facility. The Ealing Planning Committee deferred a decision pending further information

Mark Walker of TITRA speaks to the Planning Committee. He is interrupted by the noise of a lorry accessing the proposed site. There will be many lorries  if the proposal is approved.

Local residents came out in force this morning to greet Ealing councillors who were making a site visit to the proposed Harlesden Incinerator development. Representives of TITRA (The Island Triangle Residents Assocation) spoke to the councillors and will be addressing the Planning Committee at Ealing Town Hall on Wednesday August 14th as will Cllr Zaffar Van Kalwala who represents the Stonebridge ward which is close to the site.

There will be a demonstration outside the Ealing Town Hall on Wednesday from 6.15pm.
