Statement issued by Lakeside Energy from Waste Ltd, a joint venture between Grundon and Viridor

Announcement from the Government that its preferred option for airport expansion is Heathrow’s third runway.

Lakeside Energy from Waste Ltd will now seek to ensure the Lakeside Energy from Waste facility – and the associated waste management and recycling facilities within the Colnbrook complex – can be relocated on a like for like basis at a nearby suitable site, with minimal disruption, as soon as possible. We will work closely with Heathrow Airport Ltd and the relevant local and regulatory authorities to make sure these regionally significant facilities are delivered.

The Colnbrook Lakeside Energy from Waste facility – which, together with the associated Grundon waste management and recycling facilities – would need to be demolished and relocated as part of the proposed third runway at Heathrow.
