As per reports, today a group of campaigners has lost its legal battle against the Norfolk incinerator when Judge Mr. Justice Nico dismissed all the claims, restricting the Grimston resident permission for a complete judicial review of the decision while directing Michael de Whalley, a member of the King's Lynn, to pay costs. This week, he had knocked the High Court while tagging the decision as “unlawful”.

It has been reported that the proposal for processing 268,000 tonnes of rubbish, per year, at Saddlebow has faced strong opposition from locals. Under the spell of contract, there were plans to see landfill waste recycling while generating energy from the incineration of the rest is likely to run for 25 years.

During the hearing, the court heard that the cabinet meeting for March was headed by a Conservative group meeting when the party had displayed it is "in principle support" for incineration. In addition, Mr. de Whalley notified that it has clearly depicted that the succeeding public meeting was a big shame as well as "a stage pantomime". It was also observed that the cabinet has disregarded a poll reflecting local objections.

“For all these reasons I consider that none of the challenges made by the claimant to the decisions of March 2011 and April 2011 are arguable and, for these reasons, I would refuse permission for judicial review”, concluded Mr. Justice Nicol while rejecting those claims ruling that two party members have casted their votes or decided to give up the motion. In addition, there were no clear evidences to show that the party had imposed the sanctions.

On the other hand, Norfolk County Council's cabinet member for environment and waste, Bill Borrett, anticipated existence of a number of major hurdles that needs an immediate attention.
