ENVIRONMENTAL PERMIT
PREVIOUS INFORMATION
Britaniacrest Recycling Ltd lodged a planning appeal against refusal of planning permission by West Sussex County Council. Ni4H’s Interested Party Statement was submitted to the Planning Inspector on 4th March 2019.
Our focus now is raising funds for technical expert reports and a barrister, to enable Ni4H to be a Rule 6 Party at the Public Inquiry.
Ni4H respectfully requests that the Inspector dismisses the Appeal.
Fundraising for Expert Reports and a Barrister
We have a great team researching and helping prepare documents, now we urgently need to raise money to pay for a barrister and technical expert reports.
Evidence files at the Keypoint Incinerator Public Inquiry, Members of Ni4H attended several days of the Inquiry in Swindon.
With Rule 6 status No Incinerator 4 Horsham would be considered to be a main party, sent copies of the documents sent to the Inspector by the appellant (Britaniacrest), West Sussex County Council and any other Rule 6 parties. Our barrister and technical experts would appear at the inquiry and cross-examine other parties.
