Call In Letter

REQUEST FOR CALL-IN OF PLANNING APPLICATION

To: The Rt Hon Eric Pickles MP. Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government, Department for Communities and Local Government, Eland House, Bressenden Place, London SW1E 5DU. E: eric.pickles@communities.gsi.gov.uk

Ref: 12/0008/STMAJW Energy from Waste Facility at Javelin Park, Gloucestershire

I am writing to ask you, the Secretary of State, to call in this application for your consideration. I do not trust Gloucestershire County Council to make a fair and objective decision. The proposal is of more than local importance because:

• Natural England states that it would adversely affect the nationally important Cotswolds Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
• The application flouts the height limit of 15.7m set for the site by your office.
  • There is overcapacity of residual waste facilities planned in this region.
• Committing taxpayers to a 25-year contract when the future economy, waste technology and waste needs are unknown is irresponsible.
