Veolia announced plans to appeal against the decision made by the council's committee last September.
The company said it believed it had a "strong" application and was determined to get the decision made by Shropshire Council's strategic planning committee last September overturned.
The planning committee rejected the plans after members said it was unacceptable to have a mass burner as this had been excluded in the local waste plan.
