Incinerator plan to be approved

Plans for a controversial incinerator look certain to be approved, despite opposition from the local community.

An inquiry concluded that although public concern was sincere over the £43 million facility, proposed for the Cromarty Firth Industrial Estate at Invergordon, it did not warrant the refusal of consent.

Combined Power and Heat (Highlands) Ltd submitted an application for the incinerator in Invergordon, which would be capable of providing heat and power for 10,000 homes.
