SWADLINCOTE RESOURCE RECOVERY PARK PROPOSALS
R&P Clean Power Ltd is proposing a state-of-the-art Energy Recovery Facility and an Aggregates Recovery Facility at Willshee’s Waste & Recycling Depot 3, Keith Willshee Way in Swadlincote.
Depot 3 has previously played a part in the UK power industry as it was a former coal transfer station. The proposals would deliver a private sector investment of upwards of £150 million to create Swadlincote Resource Recovery Park - a hub for waste recovery, recycling, reuse and green energy. Together, the new facilities and existing Materials Recovery Facility, will be able to divert over 98% of the waste being treated at the site away from landfill.
The proposals would create 39 new permanent job opportunities, local supply chain benefits and generate business rates income into the area.
The new Energy Recovery Facility will use proven technology. It will process some 230,000 tonnes of post-recycled waste, generating low-carbon electricity to power thousands of homes each year and can also supply a green source of electricity and heat to businesses on the adjacent Appleby Glade Industrial Estate.
A planning application is being prepared for submission towards the end of the year and an Environmental Impact Assessment Scoping request has just been submitted to Derbyshire County Council to guide the documentation and nature of the environmental technical work that will be undertaken over the coming months.
