Please contact Scottish Ministers and express your opposition. Mention the health threat and the fact that the incinerator would breach the Scottish Executive National Waste Plan which requires “maximising resource efficiency and value recovery from wastes that are produced.” According to SEPA the Binn Farm incinerator would only 23% efficient, compared with over 60% if a Combined Heat & Power plant was built instead at Shore Road, Perth (for which planning permission already exists). |
