Velmur listen to locals
It seems the applicants behind the South Witham Dairy plans have decided not to proceed with their plans after listening to local opinion. The Press Release is as follows:
VELMUR LIMITED
PROPOSED DAIRY UNIT
SOUTH WITHAM
The Directors of Velmur and their advisers have, following their meeting with the South Witham Parish Council and the open meeting, reflected on comments raised at the meeting and the reaction of the village.
The Company still believe that the case for more intensive dairying remains in the UK. The scheme in many ways could have met anticipated concerns of the village.
Velmur had from the outset agreed to consult and listen to the views of the village. Access, the site and measures for slurry disposal could have minimised the impact of the scheme. The proximity of the site to the village however would not be acceptable to the village in the circumstances.
The Directors have agreed that they will not be taking forward a planning application for this site.
PRESS RELEASE ENDS.
One can only live in hope that the directors of Nocton Dairies finally take account of the local residents' views... and make a similar announcement. It is arguable that this development will have an even greater impact on surrounding villages.
