In January 2015, Urbaser Balfour Beatty (UBB) secured planning permission to construct the Energy-from-Waste (EfW) facility at Javelin Park in Gloucestershire. Once operational, the Javelin Park facility will process up to 190,000 tonnes of residual household waste per year from Gloucestershire and generate 116,000 megawatt hours of electricity annually - enough to power approximately 26,000 homes - significantly increasing the county’s renewable energy production.

Javier Peiro, project director for Urbaser Balfour Beatty, said “We welcome the start of the public inquiry as part of our planning appeal for the proposed Energy from Waste facility at Javelin Park.”

Javier Peiro, Project Director for Urbaser Balfour Beatty (UBB), said: “UBB is disappointed by the decision made by Gloucestershire’s Planning Committee today. UBB remains contracted to dispose of Gloucestershire’s residual waste and in light of this decision we are considering our options.

A lot of information has been published recently about the proposed Energy from Waste facility at the Javelin Park site, Junction 12 of the M5. Urbaser Balfour Beatty (UBB), who has been charged with the delivery of the Gloucestershire Residual Waste Project, is concerned about the level of misinformation and inaccuracies that are making headlines.

GLOSVAIN has recently published a number of documents which contain inaccuracies and misunderstandings about the impact of incineration plants in general, and the proposed Javelin Park plant in particular, on air quality and health.

The proposed energy from waste facility at Javelin Park will provide an alternative to landfill for the household waste generated in Gloucestershire. Energy from waste technology has the ability to recover the most value from the rubbish we throw away, through recycling and the generation of heat and power.

Urbaser Environmental Limited has submitted its environmental permit application to run the proposed energy-from-waste facility at Javelin Park, Haresfield.

Gloucestershire took a step forward towards zero waste to landfill this week when Urbaser Balfour Beatty submitted its planning application for an energy-from-waste facility at Javelin Park, Haresfield, near junction 12 of the M5 motorway.
