The Environment Agency has said it is “minded to” issue an operating permit for a planned £200m rubbish incinerator in Wiltshire.
The developer behind the proposed facility at Northacre Industrial Estate in Westbury has said the plant would represent a major investment in the county and could create 40 permanent high-skilled jobs when operational, and support 450 jobs during construction.
Northacre Renewable Energy (NREL), is a joint venture of power producer Bioenergy Infrastructure Group and Swindon-based waste management firm The Hills Group - which already operates a recycling centre at the site.
