The local planning authority has formally rejected the application for the anaerobic digestion plant at Cork Farm. We are now reviewing the decision notice to ensure all conditions are strictly enforced during the site closure process.
We are petitioning to stop Barker-Mill & Trant Construction from building an Anaerobic Digestion Plant and Industrial Park at Cork Farm, Marchwood. The proposed site is one of the last green spaces in our over industrialised village which is situated on the edge of the New Forest. Our already busy country roads will become even worse!! The complaints received about these types of plants from people living up to a mile away describe gut-wrenching smells!! It will have a detrimental impact on the community. Also there is the potential Environmental Impact if there was a leak, the AD Plant is being built next door to a SSSI and RAMSAR Site.
We are approaching the 500 signature mark which is the requirement to trigger a formal debate at the council level. I am finalizing the submission package for the planning committee and your names are essential to that documentation.

I am currently finalizing the formal response to the environmental assessment regarding the proximity of the proposed plant to the SSSI and RAMSAR site. These documents will be submitted to the planning committee to ensure they account for potential leak hazards. I have also reached out to local council representatives to request a formal briefing on the traffic impact studies.

AD Plants are a good idea but need to planned, planning permission obtained, have community involvement, be sited in the right place and not be just a cash cow for investors looking to rake in Ofgem ROCs to offset the high operating costs.

Please can you confirm where this figure of 600 trucks per day has come from? If this is correct, the proposal will nearly double the amount of HGV traffic, which should be enough to seriously strengthen any campaign against this proposed development?

This simply cannot happen. Increased traffic which is already at breaking point, council taxes will go up, house prices will go down, increased flood risk, noise, etc etc etc-there's way too much industry as it is in the village. There are zero positive aspects to this proposal.

I have grown up in Marchwood and seen it go from bad to worse. This is just a joke and will drive many residents away. Marchwood is already being driven down by the smell it already creates and industrial traffic. Disgusting insult to the residents!

Marchwood, a small village neighbouring the New Forest, now commonly referred to as a stinking dumping ground in the name of industry! Please, for the sake of both our environmental & personal well being, LEAVE MARCHWOOD ALONE!
