Veolia plans refused: what happens next?

6th February 2017 by StopVeolia Leave a Comment

I see no grounds that would make an appeal permissible. It was a simple refusal, in line with Planning Officers’ recommendations, and procedurally correct. That being the case, this application is dead and buried.

But there is no reason why Veolia can’t put in another, marginally changed, application tomorrow – though realistically it’s likely to take some weeks to put one together. I wonder if they dare do this without a serious attempt to talk to us? They know – or read here if not – that we are organised and ready to continue this fight if we have to. They have seen twice now that we mean business, and haven’t scored against us yet. They may well try… They will also have gone home today, if they are honest with themselves, feeling that the council planners are not minded to accept a development like this on Long Leys Road. But will they try again? Maybe. Watch this space.

This website will continue to report on anything we learn. We have too good a team, and so many enthusiastic and effective community members to call it a day now. Let’s celebrate tonight, rest awhile, but keep vigilent!

Great work to everyone who has helped in any one of hundreds of ways, however big or small. Every step has helped, and no-one’s contribution should be underestimated. Thank you very much.

Welcome

An information portal about the proposed Veolia Waste Transfer facility, Lincoln.

Update: In January 2018 Veolia abandoned their appeal against planning refusal. As part of this withdrawal process StopVeolia (& LLRA) were awarded costs against Veolia, due to their unreasonable behaviour. We are hopeful that Veolia have realised that the activity they proposed is inappropriate in our community. LLRA hold a legal defence fund of circa £12,000 in the event that Veolia re-apply.
