RIVERSIDE RESOURCE RECOVERY LIMITED

RIVERSIDE RESOURCE RECOVERY LIMITED ELECTRICITY ACT 1989 (SECTION 36C) THE ELECTRICITY GENERATING STATIONS (VARIATION OF CONSENTS) (ENGLAND AND WALES) REGULATIONS 2013 (‘THE VARIATION REGULATIONS’) – REGULATION 5 THE ELECTRICITY WORKS (ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT) (ENGLAND AND WALES) REGULATIONS 2017 (‘THE 2017 EIA REGULATIONS’) REGULATION 22(4) & (5) Notice of application to vary the consent granted for the energy from waste generating station at Norman Road, Belvedere in the London Borough of Bexley and the County of Kent. Notice is hereby given that Riverside Resource Recovery Limited, (Company Number: 03723386) ('the Applicant') having their registered office at Level 5, 10 Dominion Street, London, England, EC2M 2EF, has applied to the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy (‘the Appropriate Authority’) to vary the current consent (reference GDBC/003/00001C-06) for the construction and operation of an energy from waste generating station, known as Riverside Resource Recovery Facility ('RRRF'), granted under Section 36 of the Electricity Act 1989 ('the Section 36 Consent') and for a direction under Section 90(2) of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 ('Section 90 Direction'), that the current planning permission for RRRF be deemed varied. This application requests that the Appropriate Authority in the exercise of their powers under Section 36C of the Electricity Act 1989 ('a Variation Application') varies the current Section 36 Consent to enable an increase in the output from 72 MW to 80.5 MW in order to deliver higher efficiency electricity generation and in order to align the consented capacity of RRRF with the amount of power that the facility is currently able to export to the grid. In addition, the application requests that the Appropriate Authority varies the current Section 36 Consent to remove reference to the storage of ash above ground on the RRRF site in order for the Section 36 Consent to reflect the Riverside Energy Park Order 2020 that was made by the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy in April 2020. This application also requests that the Appropriate Authority in the exercise of their powers under Section 90(2) of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 makes the Section 90 Direction that would deem to be granted planning permission for RRRF subject to the same conditions as the current planning permission but with two changes: (1) an increase in the total tonnage of waste received at the RRRF site from 785,000 tonnes in any calendar year to 850,000 tonnes in any calendar year and (2) a requirement that all bottom ash be stored in the bunkers to RRRF. An Environmental Impact Assessment Report (‘EIA Report’) and Non- Technical Summary are included in the application documents and describe any likely significant environmental effects in comparison to those for the current consented development. The Applicant received notice under Regulation 4(6) of the Variation Regulations that the Appropriate Authority considers that the Variation Application to be suitable for publication on 29 April 2021. The Variation Application is accompanied by a plan showing the RRRF; drawing no. D2.4A which was submitted as part of the original Section 36 application in 2006; and Sheet 2 of the Works Plans (dated May 2019, Revision 2) forming part of the Riverside Energy Park Order 2020, together with a Planning Statement which sets out the reasons and need for the Variation Application.

ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION TRANSPORT SCOTLAND NOTICE OF DETERMINATION A78 RESURFACING COLLENAN ROAD TO MEADOWHEAD ROUNDABOUT NORTH BOUND ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT DETERMINATION UNDER SECTION 55A OF THE ROADS (SCOTLAND) ACT 1984 The Scottish Ministers give notice that they have determined that the project for re-surfacing the A78 from Collenan Road to Meadowhead Roundabout north bound is a relevant project within the meaning of section 55A of the Roads (Scotland) Act 1984 (“the 1984 Act”) and falls within Annex II of Directive 2011/92/EU on the assessment of certain public and private projects on the environment, but that having regard to – (a) the selection criteria contained in Annex III of that Directive, namely (i) the use of natural resources, in particular land, soil, water and biodiversity; (ii) the production of waste; (iii) pollution and nuisances; ENVIRONMENT & INFRASTRUCTURE (iv) the risks to human health (for example due to water contamination or air pollution), (b) the results of the Environmental Screening Assessment under section 55A(2) of the 1984 Act, (c) the information set out in the Record of Determination dated 30 March 2021, available at https://www.transport.gov.scot/transport- network/roads/road-orders-and-records-of-determination/#63527, the project does not require an Environmental Impact Assessment. The main reasons for the conclusion that no Environmental Impact Assessment is required are: (a) Construction activities are restricted to the existing carriageway; (b) The works will be limited to the like-for-like replacement of the carriageway pavement; (c) The works are not within a densely populated area; (d) The scheme is not situated in whole or in part in a “sensitive area” as listed under regulation 2(1) of the Environmental Impact Assessment (Scotland) Regulations 1999 (as amended); (e) No significant residual impacts are predicted. Disruption due to construction activities is not expected to be significant and will be mitigated as far as is reasonably practicable; and (f) Traffic management and working times will be communicated to road users in advance of the works. The features of the project which are envisaged to avoid or prevent significant adverse effects on the environment are: (a) Materials will be derived from recycled, secondary or re-used origin as far as practicable within the design specifications; (b) Pollution prevention measures and best practice will be adhered to at all times; (c) The waste hierarchy will be applied to all waste arising; and (d) The design option (replacing the defective surfacing) conveys sustainability benefits by significantly reducing the quantity of maintenance interventions required at the location over approximately 20 years.

The High Speed Rail (London – West Midlands) Act 2017 ("the High Speed Rail Act") received Royal Assent on 23 February 2017. 2. The Secretary of State for Transport (the “Acquiring Authority”) is authorised under section 4 of the High Speed Rail Act to exercise powers under section 4(1) of the High Speed Rail Act to acquire compulsorily so much of the land within the limits of the High Speed Rail Act as may be required for Phase One purposes1. 3. By virtue of section 4(4) of the High Speed Rail Act, the Compulsory Purchase (Vesting Declarations) Act 1981 ("the 1981 Act") applies as if the High Speed Rail Act were a compulsory purchase order. 4. Pursuant to section 3A of the 1981 Act2 before making a general vesting declaration (“GVD”) under section 4 of the 1981 Act the Acquiring Authority must, in a notice which is (a) given to every person with a relevant interest in the land with respect to which a GVD is to be made (other than a mortgagee who is not in possession); and (b) published in the London Gazette, include the particulars in section 3A(3) of the 1981 Act3. 5. Notice is hereby given pursuant to Section 3A of the 1981 Act4. 6. Pursuant to section 3A(3) of the 1981 Act, a Statement of the Effect of Parts 2 and 3 of the 1981 Act is contained in Part 1 of Schedule 2 to this notice, which provides an explanation of the process for and the effect of a GVD in respect of the land described in Schedule 1 hereto. Part 1 of Schedule 2 to this notice also invites any person who would be entitled to claim compensation if a GVD were executed under section 4 of the 1981 Act to give the Acquiring Authority information about the person’s name, address and interest in the land using the form set out in Part 2 of Schedule 2. SCHEDULE 1 District of North Warwickshire Plot No (1) Description (2) 51758 All interests in 620.04 square metres, or thereabouts, of motorway verge (M6) SCHEDULE 2 Part 1 STATEMENT OF EFFECT OF PARTS 2 AND 3 OF THE COMPULSORY PURCHASE (VESTING DECLARATIONS) ACT 1981 POWER TO EXECUTE A GENERAL VESTING DECLARATION 1. The Acquiring Authority may acquire any of the land described in Schedule 1 above by executing a general vesting declaration under section 4 of the Compulsory Purchase (Vesting Declarations) Act 1981 (“the 1981 Act”). This has the effect, subject to paragraphs 3 and 5 below, of vesting the land in the Acquiring Authority at the end of the period mentioned in paragraph 2 below. NOTICES CONCERNING GENERAL VESTING DECLARATION 2. As soon as may be after the Acquiring Authority executes a general vesting declaration, they must serve notice of it on every occupier of any of the land specified in the declaration (except land where there is one of the tenancies described in paragraph 4) and on every person who gives them information relating to the land in pursuance of the invitation contained in any notice. When the service of notices of the general vesting declaration is completed, a period specified in the declaration, of not less than three months, will begin to run. On the first day after the end of this period the land described in the declaration will, subject to what is said in paragraphs 3 and 5, vest in the Acquiring Authority together with the right to enter on the land and take possession of it. Every person on whom the Acquiring Authority could have served a notice to treat in respect of his interest in the land (other than a tenant under one of the tenancies described in paragraph 4) will be entitled to claim compensation for the acquisition of his interest in the land, with interest on the compensation from the vesting date. 3. The “vesting date” for any land specified in a declaration will be the first day after the end of the period mentioned in paragraph 2 above, unless a counter-notice is served under Schedule A1 to the 1981 Act5 within that period. In such circumstances, the vesting date for the land which is the subject of the counter-notice will be determined in accordance with Schedule A1. MODIFICATIONS WITH RESPECT TO CERTAIN TENANCIES 4. In the case of certain tenancies, the position stated above is subject to modifications. The modifications apply where the tenancy is either a “minor tenancy”, i.e. a tenancy for a year or a yearly tenancy or a lesser interest, or “a long tenancy which is about to expire”. The latter expression means a tenancy granted for an interest greater than a minor tenancy but having on the vesting date a period still to run which is not more than the period specified in the declaration for this purpose (which must be more than a year). In calculating how long a tenancy has still to run, where any option to renew or to terminate it is available to either party, it shall be assumed that the landlord will take every opportunity open to him to terminate the tenancy while the tenant will use every opportunity to retain or renew his interest. 5. The modifications are that the Acquiring Authority may not exercise the right of entry referred to in paragraph 2 in respect of land subject to a tenancy described in paragraph 4 unless the Acquiring Authority first serves notice to treat in respect of the tenancy and then serves every occupier of the land with a notice of intention to enter and take possession after the period (not less than 14 days6 from the service of the notice) specified in the notice. The right of entry will be exercisable at the end of that period. The vesting of the land will be subject to the tenancy until the end of that period or until the tenancy comes to an end, whichever happens first.

RIVERSIDE RESOURCE RECOVERY LIMITED NOTICE PURSUANT TO REGULATION 5 (5) OF THE ELECTRICITY GENERATING STATIONS (VARIATION OF CONSENTS) (ENGLAND AND WALES) REGULATIONS 2013 THE ELECTRICITY WORKS (ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT) (ENGLAND AND WALES) REGULATIONS 2000 (AS AMENDED) REGULATION 9 RIVERSIDE RESOURCE RECOVERY FACILITY, BELVEDERE, BEXLEY NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that Riverside Resource Recovery Limited of 2 Coldbath Square, London, EC1R 5HL (Company No 03723386) (RRRL) has submitted to the Secretary of State for Energy and Climate Change (the appropriate authority) an application pursuant to Section 36C of the Electricity Act 1989 to vary the consent granted on 15 June 2006 (reference GDBC/003/00001C-06) under Section 36 Electricity Act 1989 (“the Section 36 Consent”) and issue a direction under Section 90 (2) of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 for a new Deemed Planning Permission. RRRL has since received notice under Regulation 4(6) of the Variation Regulations that the Secretary of State for Energy and Climate Change, considers that the variation application is suitable for publication. The variation application is made in respect of the Riverside Resource Recovery Facility energy from waste generating station (“the Facility”) which is located at Norman Road, Belvedere, in the London Borough of Bexley. The Section 36 Consent authorised the construction of a new energy from waste electricity generating station to treat a maximum of 670,000 tonnes per annum (tpa) of waste with the capacity to generate up to 72MW. The Facility has been operating since 2013 (following commissioning which began in 2011), treating and recovering energy from municipal solid waste and commercial and industrial waste. The variation application is accompanied by an Environmental Statement which describes the main respects in which RRRL considers that the likely significant effects of the proposed changes sought in the variation application (“the Proposed Changes”) would differ from those described in the Environmental Statement submitted in 2002 in connection with the Section 36 Consent. The Proposed Changes include a request for approval for: • An increase in the maximum throughput of the Facility from 670,000tpa to 785,000tpa of waste; and • The option for river borne waste to be transported to the Facility from the Port of Tilbury in addition to the riparian waste transfer stations in Greater London. No physical works or alterations to the existing Facility are proposed as part of the variation application, and no change is proposed to the consented application boundary approved under the original Section 36 Consent and associated Deemed Planning Permission (approved plan D1.2). Further information on the variation application and a copy of the supporting material can be found on the application website at: www.coryenvironmental.co.uk/page/riversideresourcerecovery.htm Copies of the variation application and the Environmental Statement prepared in connection with the application may be inspected within normal opening hours at: London Borough of Bexley Civic Offices 2 Watling Street Bexleyheath Kent DA6 7AT Hard copies of the variation application and the Environmental Statement may be obtained from RRRL at a cost of £175, electronic versions on CD are available at a cost £10. Please contact RRRL by sending an email to: [email protected].

Unless otherwise indicated, copies of any objections or representations will be regarded as public documents and will be copied to RRRL and the London Borough of Bexley. During the consideration of the variation application the Secretary of State may formally request further information from RRRL to supplement the Environmental Statement, and materially relevant additional information may also be generated. If that happens, further public notices will give advice on how representations may be made to the Secretary of State on this material. Following receipt of all views and representations the Secretary of State will either refuse consent for the variation application or will grant it and make such variations to the Section 36 Consent as appear to him appropriate. The Secretary of State may decide to exercise his discretion to call a public inquiry before making a decision on the variation application in the light of any objection by the relevant planning authority and/or other persons. NATURAL RESOURCES WALES Notice of publication on the consultation document to update the River Basin Management Plans, under Regulation 12(1)(c) of the Water Environment (Water Framework Directive) (England and Wales) Regulations 2003 Natural Resources Wales has today published consultation documents for River Basin Districts in Wales. The updated plans are the third in a series of three publications for public consultation, allowing anyone with an interest in the water environment or the River Basin Planning process the opportunity to comment. Natural Resources Wales and the Environment Agency are updating the plans that were published in 2009. The revised plans will be published on 22 December 2015. Each document is accompanied by a Strategic Environmental Assessment scoping document that provides the opportunity for people to tell us about the information they think we should consider when addressing the environmental effects of the revised River Basin Management Plans. The consultation runs until 10 April 2015 and asks everyone to consider the issues impacting upon the water environment, what actions need to happen, where and by when. These views will be essential to shape and develop these statutory River Basin Management Plans. A response can be submitted to http:// naturalresourceswales.gov.uk/about-us/Consultations/our-own- consultations/?lang=en or you can contact our Customer Contact Centre on 0300 065 3001. Alternatively, representation can be made in writing to Ceri Jones, Natural Resources Wales, Cambria House, Newport Road, Cardiff CF24 OTP. The consultation on the flood risk management plans coincides with the launch of this consultation and runs until 31 January 2015.

REVIEW OF RIVER BASIN MANAGEMENT PLANS FOR ENGLAND Notice of draft revised river basin management plans, under Regulations 15 and Regulation 12(1)(c) and 12(2)(b) of the Water Environment (Water Framework Directive) (England and Wales) Regulations 2003 and the draft flood risk management plans, under the Flood Risk Regulations (2009). The first river basin management plans for England (“the plans”) were published in 2009. The Environment Agency has reviewed the plans and has published for consultation its proposals to update them. The Environment Agency alone cannot make all of the improvements needed to protect and improve the water environment. This is the third of three Environment Agency consultations, providing anyone with an interest in the water environment or river basin planning the opportunity to comment, and by doing so influence the way the water environment is managed. This consultation runs until 10 April 2015 and thereafter revised plans will be published on 22 December 2015. Each revised river basin management plan (“the draft plans”) are accompanied by a Strategic Environmental Assessment environmental report which identifies the significant effects that would be associated with implementing the draft plans and also asks for comment on them. The draft plan for each river basin district is available for public inspection free of charge at www.gov.uk/government/consultations/ update-to-the-draft-river-basin-management-plans, at our principal office at Bristol and at each of our local area offices, or by contacting our National Customer Contact Centre on 03708 506506. Any person wishing to make representations in relation to any of the draft plans may do so at the website above, or via email to [email protected], or in writing to David Baxter at the address below. (The consultation on the draft flood risk management plans coincide with the launch of this consultation and runs until 31 January 2015. These plans describe the risk of flooding from rivers, the sea, surface water, groundwater and reservoirs and how to manage that risk. The draft flood risk management plan and response form are available at www.gov.uk/government/consultations/draft-flood-risk-management- plans from the 10 October 2014.
