Anaerobic Digestors, does anyone know anything about them?

As my old boss used to say, if it came out the ground it can go back when finished! He was rank of squadron leader, office based.
One of the best bosses I ever had.
He threw a wobbly once when he discovered the company was so pc that they were going to pay a lot (per kg!) to have a large wooden drum of 25mm 4 core flexible rubber coated cable disposed of by the weee company.

As of today, the local councillors are still not replying to my calls regarding the planning application and everyone I have spoken to in their ward objecting.
I have found so much false information in the application. Entire multi page documents that the text and photos are unrelated as they are from the earlier food factory application, even the design and access statement refers to it. Pages of it. Then another section uses different non applicable statements from the other application. You couldn't make it up, but the applicant ha it seems and is getting away with it unfortunately. Even has information still missing, stating" To Follow". Surely this cannot be right, as any comments or objections can only deal with the facts as given in the application. If they are missing or from a different application, how can that be right in the public domain of this application. I am going to try speaking to the head of planning today. Will email as well.

Just had an email from a lady I visited Sunday. She has spoken to an independent town councillor. He feels it will go ahead for the very reason that town councillors are far outnumbered by out of town councillors on the planning committee as they dont want it on their own doorstep as there might be a very few houses within the area that would be affected.
The fact it's proposed site is almost on the development/countryside boundary and is within a km of thousands of school children at the only 3 secondary schools plus 2 junior and all the households doesn't count.
Democracy in operation!

If democracy worked they would ban it.

This thread seems to be showing the total ineptitude of politicians and civil servants. They give the impression that they don't even know they don't know !
Shades of the post office scandal
I have found it useful to demand to see the legislation that an opinion is based upon. When read carefully this is very often found in error.
taken to the local press it may just have the desired effect

Ed, trouble is the occasional zealot will attack me publicly for not being"green" or a nimby. At our age, we don't need that.
Still waiting for replies to phone messages. Tried submitting my objection online, rejected reason needs to be less than 3800 characters. Reduced it to 3700, still no go. Will phone council tomorrow.
Fingers crossed there are enough errors to get it resubmitted. Together with a second deadline.

One objection being it is virtually impossible to get any closer to the 5 of 6 schools in town, together with all the houses. Possibly moving say 200 metres North could just achieve it, but that is where their new factory is!. But the applicant owns all that land anyway!
At least I have had some lovely kind comments thanking me for my efforts. Helps us both to cope in these upsetting times.
