 The panel said the proposed waste plant was too big |
The panel behind a review into Guernsey's waste strategy admits an incinerator could still be the best way of dealing with the island's rubbish. The five-man body has recommended the States abandons plans for a mass-burn facility at Long Hougue costing more than �70m.
But it accepts that a form of waste to energy plant could still be built.
Panel chairman, Advocate Roger Dadd, said he believed it was worth researching all the possible options.
Export rubbish
The independent panel was set up six months ago to review the plans for Long Hougue in St Sampson's after Deputy Scott Ogier successfully persuaded the States to take a second look at the project.
The panel concluded the proposed plant was too big, would have a huge visual impact and would cost more than similar plants elsewhere.
It recommended the States look at other options and consider exporting some of its rubbish in the meantime.
The Environment department has two months to consider the findings of the panel.
