There is already enough lorries going into and through our village. Having this here would create more traffic. We already endure the smell from the waterworks so don't need another smell creating recycling plant.

Worried about all the extra freight on the road that is already a traffic nightmare if you happen to need to be somewhere for 9am = 15 minute journey taking 40mins

Marchwood is slowly turning from a village into one large dumping ground. There is enough here already.

Please - we need to come together as a community to put a stop to this!

It seems that many farms are accessing government grants to create these digestion plants to manage farm waste. It seems suspicious that the plans are to build a commercial site on Cork Farm. Which is not used as a farm. We deserve to have a thorough consultation and understand the impact not only on the homes of Marchwood, but the adjoining areas. The city of Southampton will also be effected. To destroy fields to create an industrial park when next door one lays under utilised is clearly wrong. Some useful links when you carry out a Google search. https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/national-planning-policy-for-waste. http://www.biomassenergycentre.org.uk/portal/page?_pageid=75,17509&_dad=portal&_schema=portal. http://www.wrap.org.uk/category/subject/anaerobic-digestion. Overview The UK is obliged under the revised EU Waste Framework Directive to apply the waste hierarchy. This ranks waste management options in order of environmental preference and the first priority is waste reduction. Recovering energy from waste is only appropriate for waste that cannot be prevented, reused or recycled with less greenhouse gas emitted. Energy recovery can be a sustainable option for waste that would otherwise go to landfill and create landfill methane emissions. Conventional technologies Direct combustion (incineration) of dry biomass The heat generated by the following wastes can be used directly to warm homes and buildings or to generate electricity using a steam turbine, or both, through combined heat and power systems: direct combustion (incineration) of dry biomass waste such as wood waste, straw and poultry litter the biomass part of municipal waste some commercial and industrial wastes some construction and demolition wastes Where waste is combusted in a combined heat and power unit, it is possible to produce both heat and power at greater efficiencies. Combustion of waste-derived fuel The methane produced from landfill (landfill gas) is a waste-derived fuel.

Marchwood says NO to AD plant. NO to increased traffic through our village. NO to the smell. NO to another blot on our village's landscape.
