Friends of the Earth Cardiff Cyfeillion y Ddaear Caerdydd

This action is now closed. Thank you to everyone who took part.

Cardiff County Council's planning committee rejected Viridor's first application for a huge, polluting and wasteful incinerator at Trident Park, Glass Avenue, Splott in June 2009. The reason the planning committee gave was that waste would be brought to be burnt in the incinerator from outside the local area.

Viridor submitted an appeal to the National Assembly for Wales against the decision in October 2009. The public inquiry for the appeal will be held in July 2010.

Cardiff Friends of the Earth are pleased that the councillors on the planning committee saw sense and rejected Viridor's application. In doing so they went against the advice of council officers who say there was no valid reason to reject the application.

Cardiff Friends of the Earth are continuing to fight Viridor's incinerator and will be giving evidence at the public inquiry.

In February 2010 Viridor submitted a second Cardiff incinerator application.

Find out why Viridor's incinerator application is bad.
