Notes: It was announced in February 2020 that Veolia intended to apply for planning permission to build a conventional merchant incinerator primarily for C&I waste but potentially with some LACW top-up at their existing Alton MRF site [Source]. In May 2020 Veolia submitted a planning application to Hampshire County Council [Application no. 33619/007] and in December 2020, in response to three Regulation 25 notices, Veolia provided new information. Environmental Permit consultation opened in May 2021 [EPR/VP3290ER/V004]. In February 2022 the Planning Committee voted to refuse planning permission [Source]. In September 2022 it was reported that Veolia had not lodged an appeal of the refusal by the appeal deadline [Source]. (Entry updated 2022-10-04)

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.
