RESIDENTS INTERRUPT PROCEEDINGS WITH LOUD CHEERS AND SHOUTS AFTER PLAN WAS DESCRIBED AS 'SERIOUS PROBLEM' FOR THE VILLAGE

Feathers ruffled at 'rowdy' council meeting vote on chicken poo plant

A COUNCIL chamber erupted in cheers after a passionate speech against a plant that would turn chicken waste into gas. More than 50 residents from the village of Anwick, near Sleaford, turned up for a planning meeting which became rowdy at times.

The facility - built next to Moy Park poultry farm - would use anaerobic digestion to turn 120,000 tonnes of chicken poo and waste feedstock each year into a form of renewable gas.

During the meeting, North Kesteven District Council said it wanted changes to be made to the plans before they could be supported, with the final decision being made by Lincolnshire County Council. Residents fear the development, which is on a field outside the village, would bring extra traffic, bad smells and noise.

Developer StreamBioenergy says there would be no impact on nearby homes, and it would provide much-needed renewable energy.
