Inappropriate Siting of Plant:
***Use your OWN words – do not copy ours – or your planning objection may not count***
- Proximity of incinerator and its emissions likely to detract from visitor experience and to deter visitors: day-trippers (including senior citizen coach tours); and those who come to do climbing, sailing, walking, cycling, bird watching, windsurfing, kitesurfing, swimming, kayaking, fishing or just to sit on the beaches and enjoy the views and tranquillity
- There is the potential for some harm to the visitor economy across a wide range of tourism associated facilities and providers. The visitor economy along the Jurassic Coast delivers 2,000 jobs and is worth £111 million- Dorset Council figures
- The Eden Portland project would deliver over 3 times the number of direct jobs, over 4 times the number of indirect jobs and 15 times the number of apprenticeships, and is unlikely to attract the necessary funding if the waste incinerator goes ahead. https://www.edenportland.org/partners
