"The date for a public inquiry into a waste incinerator in Worcestershire has been set.
"Councillors at Worcestershire County Council voted to approve plans for the 200,000-tonne energy-from-waste facility, near Hartlebury, in March."
[Pinkham Way would produce incinerator fuel, not be an incinerator.
However, when the NLWA favoured the Pinkham Way plant being at Brent Cross, Hammerson, the site developer, described initial heat treatment of residual waste 'at up to 700 degC.', and 'there could be a stack'.
Only then would the material be transferred to the 'Brent Cross Incinerator' (which Hammerson calls a 'gasifier', for 'recovery', by means of 'Energy from Waste').
Hammerson clearly knows something about shopping centres, and little about domestic waste processing. Nevertheless, Barnet Council has already granted outline planning permission for a waste plant (which could still be for 'Mechanical and Biological Treatment') and an incinerator with a 140-metre chimney.
Hammerson also has been granted planning permission, by the very 'hands-off' Barnet Council, for 14-million-square-feet of Brent Cross development (shops, flats and offices) over the next twenty years. This property would be built literally all around the waste plant and the incinerator. No wonder that 'Brent Cross' features less and less in Hammerson's PR descriptions of itself; it increasingly prefers to mention Birmingham's Bull Ring Centre.]
