Notes: Planning application for a 30-year incinerator to take municipal and commercial waste in the form or RDF submitted in January 2018 for land owned by Able UK Ltd [Source]. Planning permission granted by NE LincS Council in October 2018 (DM/0026/18/FUL, Source). It appears to be a conventional waste incinerator. In November 2018 a consultation was announced for an environmental pemit (EA ref EPR/BP3739QT/A001). Permit issued in September 2021 [Source]. Planning application to discharge Conditions 4 and 17 validated in July 2023 (DM/0687/23/CND). It was reported in May 2023 that North Beck Energy Ltd was looking for a contractor to build the incinerator [Source]. In November 2022 the operator "elected to defer permit review" and in October 2023 a permit variation was issued requiring a report to be submitted by the operator showing compliance with the updated BAT Conclusions before the incinerator can be operated. In May 2024 the Environment Agency listed the facility status as "construction not started". In July 2025, North East Lincolnshire Council stated in a Scrutiny Panl report that: "A 24-acre site owned by Able UK. Approximately ten acres has potential to see a 25MW waste to energy plant developed by North Beck Energy which gained planning permission in 2018. The project has seen some challenges in securing the necessary funding, but all planning conditions were discharged in 2023...The remainder of the site is being actively marketed by the landowners" [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.
