Details

The Environment Agency has received a Substantial Variation application for an environmental permit under the Environmental Permitting (England and Wales) Regulations 2016.

We are now consulting on the proposed decision.

  • Applicant name: Riverside Resource Recovery Limited

  • Reference number: EPR/BK0825IU/V009

  • Brief description of proposed change: Riverside Resource Recovery Limited is submitting an environmental permit variation application to:

  • amend the energy generation limit from ‘up to 72MW’ to ‘up to ‘80.5MW’;
  • increase the maximum waste throughput from 785,000 tonnes per annum (‘tpa’) to 850,000 tpa; and
  • increase the annual amounts of some raw materials used

These changes together are called the Riverside Optimisation Project, or ‘ROP’.

ROP will not alter the physical built footprint or give rise to additional physical development of RRRF. Although the ROP would result in an increase (of up to 65,000 tonnes per annum) in the volume of waste throughput processed annually at the RRRF, and would increase the facilities MW output, operations would follow the same procedures and remain fundamentally unchanged.

  • Application type: Substantial Variation

  • Address: Riverside Resource Recovery Facility, Norman Road, Belvedere, Bexley, Kent, DA17 6JY

  • Local authority: London Borough of Bexley
