Could a new facility mean extra lorries on local roads?
There will be reduced traffic movements on the B3232 to Deep Moor landfill site. There will be a small number of extra traffic movements into the Estate to the proposed EfW plant (in the region of 15-20 each way or fewer if the waste is bulked up at Deep Moor). However, these will occur throughout the working day, not adding to peak hour traffic. A Traffic Assessment is currently being carried out to assess the impact of all the proposed and possible future developments at Seven Brethren to ensure that the road infrastructure can be designed to accommodate the predicted traffic movements. These detailed assessments and surveys are being undertaken as part of any planning application, which would identify any potential issues. Specific road or traffic improvements and control measures could then be put in place, if needs be.
