A company bidding to build a huge waste plant on Green Belt land near Radlett has confirmed its proposed location for the development.

E.ON energy - one of two preferred bidders shortlisted by Hertfordshire County Council - wants to build an energy from waste plant on the Harper Lane complex, off of Harper Lane, belonging to quarrying business Lafarge (pictured).

Critics insist the plant will be no more than a traditional incinerator, blighting its immediate environment with dangerous fumes and heavy lorries. The incinerator, critics also say, will increase traffic on the already heavily congested A5183 linking Radlett with Colney Street and Park Street.

The authority's other preferred bidder, Veolia Environmental Services, wants to build the plant on the New Barnfield former school site in Hatfield.
