Javelin Park Inquiry closes

Closing submissions were heard today in the Javelin Park Energy from Waste (EfW) Inquiry which has sat for 6 weeks. The called-in appeal followed Gloucestershire County Council's decision to refusal of planning permission for an EfW plant to process approximately 190,000 tonnes of non-hazardous residual waste on a site affecting the setting of the Costswolds Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. David Elvin QC and Richard Moules acted for Gloucestershire County Council as waste planning authority, Zack Simons acted for Stroud District Council.
