'North London Waste Plan' report

This report is not new, but documents the NLWP's views on Brent Cross. One significant section is reprinted here.

 Key issue:   Should the Edgware Rd/Geron Way site remain in the Plan?
Explanation: A significant number of respondents objected to the inclusion of this site in the Plan because of the impact on the existing commercial operations on the site, the potential impacts of waste operations on the housing and primary school across Edgware Road from the site, and the potential impacts on traffic in the area.
Initial NLWP response: We will consider whether this site remains in the Plan in the light of the issues raised relating to site ownership, site assessment scores, site boundary issues, local impacts and the recent outline planning permission for the Brent Cross Cricklewood Development. This decision will also be made in the context of a wider review of the overall need for sites in the light of the new waste projections which have been announced by the Mayor since the draft Plan was published.

 Key issue:   If the Edgware Rd/Geron Way site remains in the Plan, does it require a different status to the other sites?
Explanation: The Brent Cross Cricklewood Development partners argued that the Edgware Road/Geron Way site should be treated differently to other potential new sites since the use of the site as a waste facility now has outline planning permission as part of the Brent Cross Cricklewood redevelopment proposals.

  (Oh no, it doesn't!)  

Initial NLWP response: If the site remains in the Plan, and if the main function of identifying this site is as a replacement site for the Hendon transfer station, we will consider the merit of moving Edgware Road/Geron Way into a separate site schedule so that there does not need to be additional compensation by another site if it was developed.

The Brent Cross Coalition is working with campaigners who want to stop another domestic waste incinerator at Friern Barnet, located further east along the North Circular Road, on the border of Barnet and Haringey. See a related information web site.
