Environment Agency Permit Update
Following last week’s consultation evening with the Environment Agency (EA), it has become apparent that the EA have not taken in to full consideration everything that has been raised and not used appropriate air quality data from around the proposed site.
The EA has released a DRAFT decision which states that it “Is minded to grant” an environmental permit for the Davyhulme Incinerator. The following documents have been written by the EA to outline their reasoning behind minded to grant the permit:

Representatives of the EA didn’t make any notes of what people were informing them of at the consultation and are requesting that people express their concerns to them in writing. So we need you, your family and friends to write in to the Environment Agency with your concerns to object to the EA from issuing an Environmental Permit as soon as possible.
Please send your letters and emails to psc@environment-agency.gov.uk quoting the reference number: EA/EPR/SP3234HY/A001.
Alternatively you can use our pre-formatted email template at the bottom of the page.
If you would like a copy of the EA Permit Documents send an email to info@bcag.co.uk
The Environment Agency wants to hear about information in relation to the following:
- Whether the EA Waste Permit plans are accurate.
- Any local information, as we know the area much better than the EA. For example inform them of local schools, nurseries and allotments.
- Mention any new developments, which need to be taken into consideration such as the Methane Plant at United Utilities.
- Your own reasons for objecting to the plant
