consultation
and planning

MVV has announced a second non-statutory consultation period on its proposed Medworth Energy from Waste Combined Heat and Power facility. As part of the early stages of the pre-planning process for the proposal, MVV Environment Ltd undertook an initial period of consultation earlier this year. Due to the Coronavirus pandemic and associated restrictions, the planned public exhibitions had to be postponed.

MVV’s Managing Director, Paul Carey, said, “Engaging with a wide range of stakeholders has remained a priority throughout this difficult time. We can now announce that a second non-statutory consultation period will commence this week. There will also be a further consultation opportunity, early next year, before MVV finalises its planning application in autumn 2021.”

The second non-statutory consultation period will run from 18^th September to 29^th October 2020. It will incorporate seven public exhibitions over the weeks commencing 28^th September and 12^th October 2020. There will be venue-specific risk assessments and appropriate precautions in place, in line with prevailing government Coronavirus guidance.

MVV’s project team will be at the public exhibitions to answer questions and listen to concerns.

For those unable to attend an exhibition, the same information will also be available at a number of locations, where the current planning documents can also be inspected.

*subject to Covid- 19 restrictions, please check with venue.

You can contact MVV by email, by letter and by phone, details of which are on MVV’s project website. All events are being advertised on the website, via leaflet drops, in local media and at community venues.

Feedback can be provided via the online feedback form here, and via hard copies at public exhibitions or document inspection locations. These can be returned to MVV using the Freepost address, ‘Freepost MVV’.

MVV Umwelt, a subsidiary company of MVV, has over 50 years’ experience in building and operating waste management facilities in Germany, and is one of the top three companies in Germany in its field. “Umwelt” is the German word for environment, so it operates as MVV Environment in the United Kingdom.

MVV entered the UK market in October 2008, bidding primarily for public sector waste contracts across the country. Now established as a responsible and growing group of companies in the UK, MVV operates three EfW and Biomass facilities treating over 500,000 tonnes of household residual waste and biomass a year.
