"The proposal for Pinkham Wood is to build one of Europe’s biggest MBT waste processing sites. We feel that the size and scale of the proposal is disproportionate, and should not be built in a residential area, especially one which already has existing traffic congestion and pollution problems. Most of us agree that local solutions need to be found to deal with local waste. Building one of the biggest sites in Europe is not a local solution.
"So how big will this thing be?
"According to the NLWA pre-application exhibition, there will be a factory building 15,000 square metres in size, or equivalent to 150 metres long, by 100 metres wide. The building will be up to 23 metres high, excluding the chimney stack, which at similar sites is circa 35 metres tall.
"In addition, there will be two more buildings on the site (750 square metres), 184 parking spaces and an access road."
