WRAP – EfW DEVELOPMENT GUIDANCE – September 2012 4.2.7 Other site sensitivities Figure 5 – A suitable site location for an EfW facility Sites should ideally not be located within: • an area liable to flooding; • an Air Quality Management Area (AQMA); and • a Ground Water Source Protection Zone (SPZ) 1 as defined by the Environment agency. Careful consideration should also be given to the following: • the impact of the development on aerodrome safeguarding areas depending on the stack height of the facility; • the potential of the site to support protected species (ecology) and any implications that may have for the development; and • the potential impact of the proposed EfW on Special Protection Areas (SPA) and Special Areas of Conservation (SAC) located near the site. There would need to be a compelling case in the public interest if the proposed EfW is likely to harm the SPA or SAC through emissions to air and other impacts. It is advisable to review the Air Pollution Information System information www.apis.ac.uk and contact the Environment Agency and Natural England on this matter.
