Cornwall Energy Recovery Centre and The Supreme Court

The Supreme Court has today announced that it has refused an application by the Cornwall Waste Forum for leave to appeal against a judgment by The Court of Appeal in connection with the Cornwall Energy Recovery Centre.

The Supreme Court is the final court of appeal in the UK for civil cases and this decision re-confirms that planning permission is granted for the Cornwall Energy Recovery Centre (CERC).

David Buckle, Project Director at SITA UK said: “This judgment provides welcome clarity that planning permission is securely in place for the Cornwall Energy Recovery Centre.”

“We will continue to work with Cornwall Council to finalise the details of the Revised Project Plan and build this much needed facility without any further undue delay” added David.
