What is it all about ?

Why you should be concerned about these plans to industrialise your area...

The old 'Biomass plant' in Tansterne near Aldborough is owned by a company called GB Bio who currently have a planning application to vastly extend the site.
This is in addition to the West Newton Oil & Gas developments around the same area leading to industrialisation of our coutryside and massive increase in heavy goods traffic through our villages.
We are opposed to the planning application for a number of reasons, some of which are:

Laying 70 acres of concrete to store 1000's of tons of 'biomass'
Storing 1000's of tons of material outdoors in all weathers
Burning of 100's of tons unspecified 'biomass' every day
Transporting 100's of tons in lorries through local villages every day
Increasing risk of flooding in downstream villages.
