Following rejection of a proposed waste incinerator at Barnfield in Hatfield, a new site less than 4 miles south of Ware has been identified by the County Council. Veolia is expected to submit a formal planning application for the Rye Park site in the Autumn.

It has only been approved in principle (as was the Barnfield site). A formal planning application has yet to be submitted. The reason that Barnfield fell through is that the detailed planning application was refused.

It only got through on the Chair's vote breaking a tie. If they have the support of the MP to turn down the proposal it won;t get through planning. There are apparently Veolia documents from a few years ago listing reasons the site is completely unsuitable, as they wanted at that time to build in Hatfield. The council has wasted many millions of our money on this, and its a terrible idea anyway.
