Right in the heritage site and blow away any changes of having a proper steam train running from Telford to the world heritage site! Plus its in a valley and all the toxins would just stay trapped in the air! I nuclear site would do well there though - at least there would be less radioactive waste than now the buildwas power station would be the worst possible site!

Would these protesters be happy to bury their waste in their own gardens ? Perhaps we should open a few more open-cast coal mines to make room for all this waste ?.

This turn down was nothing more than all parties doing what they appear to be popular because of the pending general election. An incinerator will be built, sita will just wait until after the general election has been run and it will sail through. Telford Pain, well done, will they be as active next time round, oe hit wonders I feel. nimbyism wins the day, but at least generations won’t be affected by the alleged poisons in the air.

The prevailing winds would blow the emissions over a wide swathe of Telford. The best location is near Granville where the winds would likely blow over a much more rural area. It may not be perfect but would impact less people. But what does it matter when we can continue throwing all our rubbish into a big hole in the ground.

Now the only thing left for SITA to do is make the hole bigger so they can dump more rubbish in and make no electricity what so ever.. A great success for eco-warriors.

Once the power station has been closed down, an incinerator would be perfect for the site. And, if the railway link is maintained, waste from other regions could be brought by freight train, thus reducing the carbon footprint further still.

Sita UK vs TWC or shall I say a £600m company vs a local authority with little cash thats being forced to cut services. Would it be rude to mention at this point the £550k the authority spent on losing the recent open cast mine appeal This means jot, its the now likely planning appeal which will determine whether it goes ahead or not.

What is it about this landscape that makes it so special? Its not like its within an AONB. I've not read the decision notice or report yet but it strikes me as another case of the council refusing an application despite there being no material planning considerations for them to do so, just like the coal mine. I epect Sita to appeal and to win and then be awarded costs against the council. How can it be in the wrong place when it is adjacent to a site that already deals with rubbish?
