Belvedere Incinerator

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Belvedere Incinerator is a proposed incineration facility in the Western Riverside Waste Authority in London with a capacity of 575,000 tonnes waste per annum. The plant was initially proposed 15 years ago by Cory Environmental and has undergone significant planning delays. The facility was given the green light to be constructed by the Department of Trade and Industry in June 2006.^[1] More recently Ken Livingstone, the Mayor of London attempted to block the plans by forcing a judicial review on the development. On the 4.01.07 the judge through out the challenge and the incinerator now has the green light to be built within the next 3 years.^[2] Ken Livingstone has gone on to further challenge the construction of incinerator on the basis that it is energy inefficient as it does not utilise the waste heat from the process and is not in London's best interests.^[3] In February 2007 The Mayor of London further pursued the prevention of the construction of the Belvedere Incinerator in the high courts.^[4]
