Abstract

In the 1990s in the UK, there have been a lot of Energy-from-Waste (EfW incineration) incineration proposals being rejected or delayed due to local opposition. This thesis explores the causes and the processes of local opposition to the proposals. It reviews the literature on theories about local opposition to siting EfW incineration plants to establish the pattern of interactions between stakeholders of the proposals constituting to the failure to gain local acceptance. It traces the development of policies that shapes the EfW incineration development. A case study which the developer was failed to gain permission to build is analysed. The data is collected through semi-structured interviews with some stakeholders. It concludes the factors leading to the failure to gain approval. It seeks alternative approaches to gain public acceptance. It also investigates possibly a new approach to link pollution control and planning control emerged in the strategies employed by the local authority in the scrutiny of the Environmental Statement produced by the developer.
