Report of the Chief Executive and Director of Environment Contact: Rob Egan Tel: 01992 556224 Local Member: Tim Hutchings Adjoining Members: Paul Mason and Eric Buckmaster 1. Purpose of Report 1.1 To consider planning application reference 7/0067-17 for the proposed demolition of buildings and structures associated with existing rail aggregates use and construction and operation of an energy recovery facility for the treatment of municipal, commercial and industrial wastes; importation, storage and transfer of local authority collected healthcare waste together with ancillary infrastructure including administration/visitor centre; incinerator bottom ash storage shed; grid connection compound; car, HGV, bus and visitor parking areas; rail sidings improvements; weighbridges and weighbridge office; 2 portacabin offices; sprinkler tank and pump room; drainage connection to River Lee; security fencing; landscaping and highway improvements to Ratty’s Lane at land at 2, Ratty’s Lane, Hoddesdon, EN11 0RF. Agenda Pack 4 of 320 - 1 - Procedural matters 1.2 The planning application is accompanied by an Environmental Statement (ES) as part of the Environmental Impact Assessment Regulations 2011. 1.2 A Scoping Report was submitted to the Waste Planning Authority (WPA) of Hertfordshire County Council in April 2016. Following consultation, the WPA issued a Scoping Opinion in June 2016. 1.3 Further to the submission of the application, the applicant submitted addendums to the ES for the consideration of the local planning authority. These addendums primarily relate to the submission of a revised Flood Risk Assessment, together with changes to the highway access arrangements. In addition, the addendums also included further technical information that the WPA had requested under Regulation 22 of the Town and Country Planning (Environmental Impact Assessment) Regulations 2011. The submission of the addendums necessitated a re-consultation exercise, with all original consultees being consulted on the details of the addendums. 2 Summary 2.1 The establishment of an Energy Recovery Facility (ERF) at Ratty’s Lane will allow the County Council, in its role as Waste Disposal Authority, to deal with all residual Local Authority Collected Waste (LACW) arisings within the county. Residual waste is the element of LACW that is left after all re-usable and recyclable elements have been removed. At present, this waste is either sent to landfill sites for disposal, or is exported from the county for incineration at alternative facilities. The proposed ERF will allow the residual waste to be moved up the waste hierarchy when compared to landfill as it would facilitate the production of partly renewable energy. The creation of such a facility within Hertfordshire would also allow residual LACW to be treated much closer to its origins, cutting down on transportation costs and disposal fees. 2.2 Although the Ratty’s Lane site is not within any of the preferred areas designated by the County Council within its Waste Core Strategy, the site offers a sustainable location on Previously Developed Land that also consists of a designated employment site. Consequently, the location of the proposed development accords with the Waste Core Strategy. 2.3 The environmental impacts of the proposed ERF have been assessed at length. In terms of noise and vibration, it is likely that one nearby residential property as well as houseboats in the vicinity of the site will be adversely affected, but only during the period of construction of the facility. Once the ERF is operational, noise and vibration will not affect these. Agenda Pack 5 of 320 - 2 - 2.4 Other environmental impacts, including the likely impact upon air quality, hydrology and hydrogeology, and health, have all been analysed and assessed, with the conclusions being that the development will not result in significant adverse impacts upon these. 2.5 The primary significant impact of the development will be in terms of its visibility within the landscape and upon identified receptors within the vicinity of the site. Appropriate mitigation, primarily through landscaping, will assist in softening these impacts, but it is also proposed to seek further mitigation through the provision of financial contributions, by way of a Section 106 Agreement, to provide further mitigation through environmental enhancements of the adjacent water corridor and within the Lee Valley. 2.6 In addition, the likely impact of the development upon ecology has been thoroughly assessed, concluding that any such impacts will be adequately mitigated through habitat creation, with species being protected through the imposition of appropriate conditions.

  • Borough of Broxbourne
    Appendix A Borough of Broxbourne Original consultation response You may be aware that this Council considered a report in respect of the above planning application at the meeting of the Planning and Regulatory Committee on 18 th April, 2017. A copy of that report is enclosed. Its recommendations were unanimously supported by the members of the committee. This report is in advance of the full and formal consideration of the planning application by the same committee which will take place in advance of the County’s determination. I would be grateful if you could keep me informed of the likely timing of that. I would also still welcome your attendance at this Council’s Planning and Regulatory committee meeting in due course. You will note from the report and recommendations that this Council has undertaken a preliminary assessment of the planning application against the key policies within the Development Plan. It is my strongly considered view that this application is contrary to the key determining policies of the Development Plan and that it is therefore contrary to the Development Plan as a whole. I would be very concerned if the County Council did not reach a similar conclusion as the starting point for determining whether or not there are sufficient material circumstances to justify approving this application contrary to the provisions of the Development Plan. I am also extremely concerned by the process that has been followed by Veolia and the County Council as waste disposal authority to promote the largest waste facility in the history of Hertfordshire on a site that is contrary to the provisions of the Development Plan.
