Wheelabrator Delays Consultation Plans for U.K.-based WTE Facility

U.S.-based Wheelabrator is delaying statutory public consultation plans for its waste-to-energy (WTE) facility at an Enviropark near Longparish, England.

Andover Advertiser reports that the company is delaying public consultation plans for about three months. Wheelabrator also projects a similar delay for submitting its planning application to the Planning Inspectorate for the WTE facility.

According to the report, the company claims delays are due to a review of proposed design plans that will be included in the statutory consultation documents. Meanwhile, a campaign to fight the company’s plans are continuing to gain momentum.

The company claims it will now take place between early November and mid-December, a delay of almost three months, based on the original timeline given to the Inspectorate.
