Incinerator Story Continues

At today's Planning and Regulation Committee at the County Council, both applications to build incinerators at Ardley near Bicester and at Sutton Courtenay were turned down. This was in spite of the officers' recommendation which was that planning permission should be granted (subject to a long list of conditions in each case). This is an extraordinary situation. The County's Cabinet had agreed that Viridor at Ardley should be the preferred bidder for the tendering process, but the planning committee has now turned down its application to build the incinerator on the site. It makes you wonder whether the planning decision should have been taken first - who knows?

I doubt the story will end here .... watch this space!
