The Newhaven Incinerator is a proposed incinerator for the treatment of up to 210,000 tonnes per annum of East Sussex's municipal solid waste. The facility, proposed by Veolia Environmental Services, has been given the green light by planners at the Conservative-controlled East Sussex County Council due to them having already signed a contract well in advance of any public debate.[1][2]
[edit] Opposition
Campaign group Defenders of the Ouse Valley and Estuary claimed that more than 11,000 objections were made to the incinerator. In its petition, the group said: "The incinerator proposed by East Sussex County Council will dominate the town of Newhaven with two chimneys towering over 230 feet high, the main building of the incinerator will be over 100 feet high and more than 500 feet long. The site is on the edge of an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and in a valley which is between the two halves of Newhaven."
