 The panel said the waste plant should not be built |
The inquiry into plans to build a waste incinerator in Guernsey has concluded that the project should be scrapped. An independent panel was set up six months ago to review controversial plans to construct a plant at Long Hougue in St Sampson's.
The inquiry began after Deputy Scott Ogier successfully persuaded the States to take a second look at the project, which would cost over �70m.
The Environment Department now has two months to consider the findings.
The team, led by Advocate Roger Dadd, believes the project is the wrong solution for dealing with the island's waste.
It concluded the proposed plant is too big, would have a huge visual impact and would cost more than similar plants elsewhere.
It is recommending the States look at alternative schemes and Guernsey should consider exporting some of its rubbish in the meantime.
