Can they prove this? Of course this wording means that it is open to legal challenge. Buckfastleigh will be able to challenge in a similar manner.

Incinerators and Human Rights Act
I just picked this up from the environmental permit for New England Quarry incinerator [actually I just noticed, it is actually the one in Cardiff for Viridor but these things are generic anyway. Still not sure if the NEQ one is on-line]. Interesting use of wording that "We do not believe that Convention rights are engaged in relation to this determination."

Fight the incinerator and you will have fought the Whitecleaves proposal.
ReplyDeleteI would think it is worth investigating the potential to use the Human Rights Act as a legal action against MVV/SWDWP for the environmental permit for the Devonport Incinerator - after all, who are these people to decide whose lives should be shortened? Even if it is only 83 seconds (as they claim) it is surely the principle that counts?
ReplyDeleteThe principle that the incinerator will contribute to people's deaths has been established - the argument is over the detail.
