SINFIN LANE - Waste Treatment Facility and Visitor & Education Centre

The planning appeal for the proposed Waste Treatment Facility and Visitor & Education Centre at Sinfin Lane has been dismissed.

Edward Thomas, Project Director for Resource Recovery Solutions (Derbyshire) Ltd (RRS), said:

“Naturally we are extremely disappointed with the Planning Inspector’s decision. Our solution, including the proposed waste treatment facility at Sinfin Lane was developed after consideration of a wide range of alternatives and represents the optimal solution to effectively deal with Derby and Derbyshire’s long-term waste needs.

We will now consult with both Derby City and Derbyshire County Councils to agree the next steps under the Joint Waste Management Contract.”

Derbyshire County Council’s Cabinet Member for Recycling and Technology, Councillor John Allsop, said: “We are very disappointed with this decision.

“We’ll now work with Derby City Council and RRS to agree the next steps.”
