==Summary==
A [[Biomass Waste EFW]] facility [[Trackwork Waste and Thermal Treatment Facility]] is permitted to incinerate up to 35,000 tonnes per annum of [[Wood Waste]] generating 3.0MWe to the grid.


The Trackwork site was developed by [[Trackwork Ltd]] to process used railway sleepers from the rail network. Due to the hazardous nature of this particular material, the site is permitted as a hazardous waste incinerator. The permit was consolidated with an adjacent transfer station and processing site in November 2010, the consolidated permit allows up to 12,500 tonnes per year on non-hazardous and 42,000 tonnes per year of material to be handled.


==Plant==
The plant was reported as becoming operational in 2010 and was built at a cost of £8m<ref>https://www.ttjonline.com/news/hazardous-wood-waste-plant-throws-the-switch</ref>.
