There has been some disquiet about a proposed waste plant in the Ealing part of Park Royal. This obviously raises questions over transport and good neighbour concerns. It has been wrongly put about that Brent Planning officers have not been concerned about these. In fact, Brent Planning officers have already had informal contacts. A formal response has not yet been sent in but it will be ahead of the deadline. Again, contrary to some of the rumours going round, Ealing have written to about 1,000 Brent residents in the area south of Harlesden High Street.
The relevant Planning Authority of course is Ealing, and the case officer is Peter Lee (LeeP@ealing.gov.uk).
The site is currently industrial land, and has a number of uses. The developers claim that the transport movements will be reduced by replacing these with the new plant. I am still waiting to see if Brent's transport experts agree. Similarly, Brent's environmental health staff are examining the emissions data.

Incinerating waste is an insane way of using resource: once it has gone, it's gone.
The examination of emissions data by Brent will presumably rely on what they're told, rather than what actually is. It won't reflect unmonitored nano particulate matter.
