Information for Runcorn EFW Facility, Picow Road Farm, Weston Point, Runcorn
Status: ExistingPlanning Region: North West
Planning Sub-Region: Cheshire
Operator: Ineos Chlor (Invoyn), Viridor / KKR and John Laing
Capacity: 1,100,000
Campaign Group(s): CHeshire Anti-Incinerator Network (CHAIN) and Halton Action Group Against The Incinerator (Halton Breathe/HAGATI)
Notes: Began commissioning in March 2014, followed shortly by a serious incident involving lime spillage [Source]. Two further incidents occurred in November 2014 [Source, Source]. BERR granted planning permission for the facility by in September 2008 [Source]. Possibly the biggest incinerator of its type in Europe. Issued an environmental permit in May 2011. Developer varied planning consent to increase quantity of RDF allowed through the road from 85,000ktpa to 480ktpa. Permit EP3731XL issued in May 2011. Project received a £182m loan from the European Investment Bank in 2009 [Source]. In May 2017 the Greater Manchester Waste Disposal Authority announced plans to cancel the contract that was relied on for feedstock for the plant [Source]. Planning application to increase capacity to 1.1 million tonnes submitted in August 2017 and approved in February 2019 (18/00417/S72), and associated permit applicaion approved in March 2019 (EPR/RP3638CG/V005). In April 2021 it was reported that legal proceedings had been issued against Viridor on behalf of 196 householders "for the various alleged emissions from the plant which include noise, dust, smells and steam" [Source]. In April 2023 the Environment Agency announced a consultation on their draft decision to allow for up to 10% (110,000 tonnes per annum) of the feedstock to be mixed municipal waste (rather than RDF), and this was granted in May 2023. In July 2025 the Environment Agency issued a permit consultation for the Runcorn carbon capture facility (EPR/QP3724SE/A001). (Entry updated 2025-07-31)

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.
