Comment for planning application SCC/0045/23SE

Hempstead road Haverhill

: Andrew Rutter, Case Officer, Suffolk County Council Application Number: SCC/0045/23SE Construction and operation of an anaerobic digestion facility, associated infrastructure and new access road, connecting pipeline and covered digestate lagoons Applicant: Acorn Bioenergy Limited/Thurlow Estate Dear Sir I wish to object to the proposed development of an anaerobic digester at Spring Grove Farm, Haverhill. The site proposed is wholly inappropriate for many reasons, but not least that its operation will pollute the area with noise, unpleasant smells and unnecessary traffic. This plant has the potential to discharge methane!
