The review panel has until next year to make a decision on the plant

The team now has until the beginning of next year to recommend to the States whether the proposed plant at Longue Hougue should go ahead.

When Deputy Scott Ogier's requete was passed by the States in July, six months were allowed to complete a review of the plans.

Local Advocate Roger Dadd has been appointed chairman of the review panel.

He will preside over four UK experts who include: Richard Eales from the National Audit Office and Steve Lee, chief executive of the Chartered Institute of Waste Management.

The rest of the panel is made up of David Purchon, a Chartered Environmental Health Practitioner, and Dr Marian Kelly, a policy executive at the Environmental Services Association.
