  PUBLIC consultation on a draft permit which would allow Devonport Dockyard's incinerator to be built will end this week.

In December the agency completed its 'technical determination' of MVV Environment Devonport Ltd's application for an incinerator at North Yard and concluded it was minded to issue a permit to the operator. This meant the...
