Chesterfield Against Incineration

Last Updated: 21/10/10

Decision news

We won! The Planning Committee voted 8-1 in favour of a motion to reject the Planning Officer’s recommendation of approval of the planning application.

In plain english, they voted 8-1 in our favour.

Reasons cited in the motion were:

• Tree Protection Orders
• Economic concerns
• Transportation concerns

It has been reported in the press that “public health fears” was also cited, but this is yet to be confirmed.

We eagerly await the Planning Officer’s Letter of Refusal that will outline the precise legal reasons why the plans were refused.

Huge thanks to all who supported us throughout this long campaign.
