"... neither the Pinkham Way, nor the Hendon [Brent Cross] environs offer any realistic prospect of connecting a Combined-Heat-and-Power (CHP) facility to a district heating network.where the NLWA publicly (and possibly for the first time) abandoned the incinerator idea in its ‘Refreshed Outline Business Case’ of January 2010 (Para 4.4.2.1).
"Therefore, with the planning risk associated with establishment of a CHP Energy-from-Waste (EfW) facility at Pinkham Way and/or Hendon being assessed as high, this would tend to reinforce the Authority’s view that these scenarios are undeliverable, due to lengthy and costly planning processes."
There was also a wobble in 6 September 2010 ...
“....it was decided that our outline business case (OBC) should provide for the waste treatment facility that might have been built at Geron Way [Brent Cross] to be built at Pinkham Way instead"since the 'facility' mentioned was effectively:
'incinerator fuel production'
... then, by conveyor, to an ... 'incinerator'
... and then, by piping, to a ... 'combined-heat-and-power plant'
This loss of at least part of the incinerator chain of processes at Brent Cross lasted until the afternoon of Barnet's Planning Committee on 20 September 2010, when the NLWA's statement of 6 September was withdrawn.
Anyway, it would still seem that a 50,000 tpa 'organics bulking plant' for green and food waste may now have moved from Brent Cross to somewhere else, and a 250,000 tpa 'residual treatment plant' for black bag waste has moved from Brent Cross to Pinkham Way.
A much longer version of these matters (for enthusiasts only) is in this letter to Barnet Planning, regarding the Brent Cross site.
