Newhaven is the place for an incinerator for sure...

Well if it ends up in Newhaven then I do hope the fumes find their way into County Hall to choke those damned arsés that allowed it to come here. Don't forget the fumes migh travel nicely to Seaford, Peacehaven and goodness knows where else.

As the UK's prevailing wind is SW (Seaford is East-ish of N/haven, I can say with some certainty that Seaford will get its fair share of "fresh" fallout.
Now look here...
We all know that an incinerator is a bad idea, however, I expect those nice people in charge have calculated that it's cheapest way to get rid of rubbish... so it WILL happen.
Like it or not N/haven is not a pretty town.
A generous portion of pylons and radio aerials seamlessly inter mingle with the harbour area, complete with its piles of gravel and old, rusting tumble down sheds.
The housing is cheaper as compared to its neighbouring towns... N/Haven looks like a run down town ?cos it is.
The only thing I'm unsure of is how the incinerator fits in with the new Master plans... the North Quay development (houses/flats/shops/marina.
Wouldn't have thought it was a selling feature...

Yes SHS people can be slooooow and dim.
I notice lots of them make placards against the incinerator then plant them in their gardens amongst the roses.
It's a futile jesture... spose it's therapeutic.
Dunno if Democracy is dead (too screwed by apathy) but it's sure spluttering at times.

Well that is no good reason to just give in and let the authorities take no notice.
Do you not think there is any point in having an opinion and experssing it?
Well, you could just sit back and let them do what we dont want them to as if we could not cair how our taxes are spent.

Yes! sure you can... but that alternative is far preferable to making something that's nice horrible.
Wonder if it's ever crossed your mind Tab'that the proposed North Quay development and the siting of the Incinerator are in some way connected?
A bit of a trade of maybe?

There maybe a point of protesting to the right person at the right time over a contentious issue... that being a prospective parliamentary candidate at election time.
Else, as previously stated, it does seem a waste of time as it tends not to greatly affect the outcome.

Incineration does not significantly reduce waste, it is not conducive to recycling, it does not reduce transport movements nor transport pollution, it does not remove the necessity for landfill.
Incineration produces hazardous waste, which is more difficult to landfill.
The planning application's plans to deal with Bottom Ash are ill defined and inadequate. Landfill will be required in order to dispose of the bottom ash.
Basically, it produces residues that are more harmful than the original waste.
Put simply; incineration is the complete opposite of a "sustainable solution".
Neither does incineration create jobs nor enrich the local economy.
The environmental impact assessment is inadequate in respect of the impact of flooding of the incinerator.
At high tide the bottom of the incinerator will be 12m below the water level; hence the underground water pressure will be 2.2 bar. It does not make sense to place such a building in 12m of water, there are bound to be problems as the building ages.
Construction traffic will have a very negative effect on the environment in Newhaven and on the surrounding area.
Incineration is not the answer - where ever it is located.

Great post Tabby raising a fair few good points.
The question that still remains is...
Is it cheaper???
Cos if it isn't then what's the TRUE motivation?
On the "where to put the incinerator" issue...
I would have thought that the siting of the firey dragon was governed by the availabilty of a cheap piece of land that no one wants for house building. Sozs, if it's not ideally sited then it comes as no suprise.
I don't follow your argument on transport movements/transport pollution. A dust cart will still collect waste from peoples houses. I don't see the difference in transport pollution if that dust cart lugs it to a landfill site or to an incinerator.
???
On a personal note, up until recently I have been pro recycling.
However in Seaford the recycling men who troll the streets in their environmentally friendly over grown electric milk float.... "DON'T TAKE EXTRAS MATE".
All those plastic bottles and empty tins that I bothered to rinse and crush must be a real strain to lift.
My heart goes out to them.
Following on from their shiny example the dustmen now take a few extra bags each week.
Strange but true... ... ...
