Viridor has welcomed the Deputy Mayor of London's judgment to allow the London Borough of Sutton's decision to approve the construction of its proposed Energy Recovery Facility (ERF) in Beddington to stand.

Ian John, Head of Planning at Viridor, said: "The decision builds on the approval of the London Borough of Sutton and is another important step towards achieving planning permission and the delivery of next generation infrastructure for South London.

"Working in tandem with waste reduction, reuse, and enhanced recycling, Viridor's Beddington ERF will play an important role in diverting waste from landfill, recovering renewable energy from what remains.

"Operating to the highest national and international standards, the facility will deliver real environmental, economic, social and community benefits."
