Local MP, Graham Stuart, is asking the council to explain changes to plans for an Anaerobic Digestion (AD) plant at Plaxton Bridge, Woodmansey.
Following representations from the 60-strong Woodmansey and Dunswell Residents’ Group, Graham has written to the council’s Director of planning, Alan Menzies, to find answers about the alterations – which residents say have not been properly consulted on.
Residents in Woodmansey and Dunswell are up in arms over a planning application to significantly change the use of a new Anaerobic digestion (AD) plant before it’s even built.
AD plants turn waste products into energy and owners of AD plants receive generous subsidies from the Government. AD plants need to be constantly fed waste products to be effective.
