Campaigners in a Welsh town have said that a controversial waste-to-energy plant project will have to overcome several hurdles before it can be built in the area.

Enviroparks received planning permission earlier this year to construct the £120 million plant which will use land in the Brecon Becons National Park and overlook the Cynon Valley reservoir.

Local campaigner John Morris told the site Wales Online: "The main concerns of the people in the village are the emissions that will come from there.

"They've sited it by a reservoir serving the whole of the Cynon Valley. Anything coming out of the chimney is going to settle in the reservoir."

David Williams, director of Enviroparks, said that it could take another six to ten months to begin construction as the company had not yet been granted an Environmental Agency permit.

In an interview with the Sunday Times this week, he said that one of the aims of the project is bring back investment in the area.
