Riverside Energy Park Dispersion Modelling Report iv Riverside Energy Park Dispersion Modelling Report 1 Introduction 1.1.1 Cory Environmental Holdings Limited (trading as Cory Riverside Energy) (Cory or the Applicant) is applying to the Environment Agency (EA) under The Environmental Permitting (England and Wales) Regulations 2016 (Environmental Permitting Regulations) for an Environmental Permit (EP) to operate an integrated Energy Park, to be known as Riverside Energy Park (REP). REP would comprise waste treatment facilities together with an associated Electrical Connection. 1.2 Project Description 1.2.1 A detailed description of REP is presented in Sections 1.4 to 1.6 of the Supporting Information. REP would be constructed on land immediately adjacent to Cory’s existing RRRF, within the London Borough of Bexley and would complement the operation of the existing facility. 1.2.2 The main elements of REP would be as follows: Energy Recovery Facility (ERF): to provide thermal treatment of Commercial and Industrial (C&I) residual (non-recyclable) waste with the potential for treatment of (non- recyclable) Municipal Solid Waste (MSW); Anaerobic Digestion facility: to process food and green

  • Jinder Ubhi Dear Sadiq Khan, I Have Consulted with Members of The
    Jinder Ubhi From: Laurie Baker Sent: 27 February 2018 19:38 To: Londonplan Cc: Peter Heath Subject: New draft London Plan Dear Sadiq Khan, I have consulted with members of the London Geodiversity Partnership (LGP) and these are the comments of the Partnership on the geodiversity aspects of the draft London Plan: Comments on Policy G9 Geodiversity In general there is an improvement on this section of the previous London Plan. Policy G9 is divided into two parts. On Development Plans, Part A, 1) and 2) are identical to the previous wording; do you see the previous reference to London’s Foundations as superfluous in the policy. For development proposals, Part B says “where relevant” but this is unnecessary. In B 2), developments should also protect SSSIs. In paragraph 8.9.2, when referring to SSSIs it should say “Interest” not “Importance” The paragraph states that “London’s geodiversity Sites are shown in Figure 8.1”. However, it says “National/Regional Geodiversity Importance” and the LGP would like SSSIs to be shown. (Peter: Does the map layer I sent you from Natural England work for you?) As they are part of the Plan, LGP would like LIGS also to appear (with correct LF numbers) on figure 8.1. On Figure 8.1, although it says the reference numbers come from SPG 2012, they bear no relation to London’s Foundations. The numbering of sites in LF should be used. In the table below, I have tried to allocate the number given in figure 8.1 to show the problem. I have tabulated the sites below, with the new sites 60‐72 marked with red numbers.
