Notes: In November 2019 plans were announced for a 200 ktpa incinerator primarily to treat C&I waste. Constitutues a Development of National Significance (DNS) to be determined by Welsh ministers following report from a planning inspector. It is expected that the facility would use Cogen technology Source. An application for permission for "a development of national significance" was submitted to Cardiff Council in June 2020 (reference DNS/3236340). In May 2021 the applicant responded to a request for information regarding the impact of the moratorium on new incineration in Wales on their proposal. In June 2021 Natural Resources Wales wrote to the Planning Inspectorate to raise a series of concerns regarding the proposal and announced their intention to take part in a further hearing, the timing of which has yet to be set out by the Planning Inspectorate. In October 2021 the case was handed over to the Welsh Planning Inspectorate [DNS/3236340]. The scheme was refused planning permission by the Minister for Climate Change in November 2021 [Source].

UKWIN (and therefore the UKWIN map) focuses on Municipal Waste Incinerators, whereas our colleagues at Biofuelwatch focus on biomass projects. If you are interested in biomass incinerators (including waste wood plants) over 20MW then please see the Biofuelwatch map of UK Biomass Power Stations. Those concerned about biomass plants, including waste wood plants, should email Biofuelwatch at biofuelwatch[at]gmail.com.Please be aware: There is always room for improvement, so please send updates to coordinator@ukwin.org.uk. Existing Incinerator means a facility that is operational or under construction/commissioning. A Potential Incinerator is a facility where there is a proposal for an incinerator (e.g. planning application or planning consent) or other reason to believe an incinerator might be built/proposed in the future. A Prevented Incinerator is something which used to be a proposal or expected incinerator which we do not believe is currently being progressed (e.g. because the project was cancelled, planning permission refused, or years have gone by since the permission was granted without any progress) - in some cases a facility marked as prevented is being progressed without us being aware or is subsequently revived. Capacity is usually the permitted or maximum advertised capacity of the facility.
