Incinerator information library

Information for Allerton Waste Recovery Park, Allerton Park Quarry, Knaresborough

Status: Existing
Planning Region: Yorkshire and the Humber
Planning Sub-Region: North Yorkshire
Operator: Thalia
Capacity: 320,000
Campaign Group(s): Tockwith Residents Association, NYWAG and York Residents Against Incineration
Notes: Construction began in March 2015 [Source, Source, Source]. It was stated in January 2018 that construction had been completed and that technical testing would take place over the next few months [Source]. Approved by planning committee 30th October 2012 (Ref NY/2011/0328/ENV). Part of PFI contract awarded in December 2010, but lost PFI funding in February 2013 [Source]. In September 2014 North Yorkshire County Council approved alternative funding arrangements - "UK Green Investment Bank (GIB) put £33 million into the project, and other backing came from Aberdeen UK Infrastructure Partners and Equitix" [Source, Source] and £150m from the European Investment Bank [Source]. Planning Condition 40 requires an air quality monitoring scheme for 12 months post final commissioning (with details confirmed in NY/2017/0136/A27). (Entry updated 2025-09-23)
