SITA withdraws from South West Devon Waste Partnership

E-mail Print PDF

Press release on behalf of South West Devon Waste Partnership, 8th January 2010:

The South West Devon Waste Partnership has been notified that SITA is 
withdrawing its plans for an Energy from Waste facility for a site in 
South Yard at Devonport.

Mark Turner, Project Director for SWDWP said: “ We are naturally 
disappointed that SITA has had to pull out of the project. There are 
considerable challenges in putting forward proposals of this nature, 
and unfortunately it has not been possible to achieve a deliverable 
solution that will meet the needs of the partnership. There have been 
a number of complex commercial issues which could not be resolved.”


The Partnership now has two companies proposing solutions at three 
sites. These are:

MVV Umwelt (Ernesettle and North Yard)
Viridor (New England Quarry)

For more information, please see www.swdwp.co.uk

Editors’ Notes

Between March and May 2010, the Partnership has planned to undertake 
an evaluation to reduce the shortlist from three to two bidders. The 
withdrawal of SITA will therefore not affect the project timescale or 
delivery.
