Buckinghamshire County Council (BCC) are in the early stages of consultation <ref> Buckinghamshire County Council Waste Consultation, www.buckscc.gov.uk, Retrieved 06.09.2007</ref> on a waste management strategy, and have proposed the adoption of an Energy-from-Waste (EfW) facility of capacity around 210,000 tons per annum to manage most of Buckinghamshire's non-recyclable waste. It has been proposed by BCC that this facility might be located in Aylesbury Vale at College Road North, Aston Clinton, near Aylesbury.

Currently Buckinghamshire imports significant quantities of waste from other local authorities, including from the Greater London area.<ref> South East Plan, www.eipsoutheast.co.uk, Retrieved 06.09.2007</ref> An estimated 360,000 tons per annum from the London area is disposed of in the Calvert landfill site.

Opposition

Since the announcement that Buckinghamshire was opting for an incineration-based waste strategy two anti-incineration groups have been formed in the local area. Their concerns relate to the proposed location facility, concerns about the possibility of the importation of waste from other areas in direct contradiction to the Proximity Prinicple and also to potential health hazards related from possible emissions from the plant.
