A Lifecycle Assessment has been commissioned to determine the
potential effect of the proposed energy-from-waste facility on its
surroundings. This assessment has been undertaken using the
Environment Agency’s Waste and Resources Assessment Tool for the
Environment (WRATE) software, and includes conclusions about the
facility’s likely impact on aspects such as air quality, water
quality, traffic levels and visual impact.
