Plans announced for South Ayrshire incinerator
(go to main Barrhill information page)
At a meeting of Barhill Community Council on 29 April, plans were announced for an Energy from Waste incinerator to be built as part of a wider plan that includes the construction of a new railhead for timber extraction by the Forestry Commission. The following extract from the Community Council minutes provides further detail:
(start)
At the last Barrhill Community Council meeting, Stan Corcoran of the Forestry Commission and John Dent of Ashby Scott outlined the latest development of a Rail Head to remove timber extraction from the roads and to deliver some of it instead, by rail. Ashby Scott forms part of a Consortium of companies which hopes to deliver this project and the EfW plant described below.
As part of a bigger scheme, the Consortium is looking at an Energy from Waste scheme (EfW). This project has just been suggested and the Consortium is keen for the community to be involved at all stages. An EfW plant would involve the development of a state of the art Incinerator in the Arecleoch woodland. As this land is not scheduled for Industry, this could involve the submission of a detailed Planning Application to South Ayrshire Council. Proposals include the delivery of municipal waste from the central belt of Scotland . It is foreseen that this waste would be delivered in sealed units by train, although some delivery by road cannot been ruled out at this stage. The energy from this incineration plant could be sent to the grid via the existing Scottish Power overhead lines. Other proposals might involve a horticultural enterprise for the growing of tomatoes that would use some of the surplus heat. Another development would be a plant to produce wood pellets for central heating systems and industrial purposes. It has been suggested that if all the projects go ahead, some 150 to 200 jobs could be created.
These proposals could change the nature of our area. If it goes ahead, we'd need to hear your thoughts on these issues and we will keep you informed. So please come along to our meetings, the next being Thursday 25th March and then Thursday 29th April 2010 at 7.30 Barrhill Memorial Hall. A leaflet will be sent out separately.
