159/17 PLANNING Planning Applications 17/03049/CM - F. D. Bird & Sons - Land North Of Yarrows Aggregates Ltd, Leven Bypass White Cross To Leven Roundabout - Erection of an Anaerobic Digestion (AD) Plant and associated works (Revised scheme of 16/03149/CM) (PC decision date extended to 17 October 2017) RESOLVED: Strongly object to the application on the grounds of factors affecting the environment, pollution, leisure, tourism, visual amenity and transport. The Parish Council request that this application be considered by the appropriate Committee.

Should the application be approved, the Parish Council strongly recommend that the following be considered and conditions be implemented to mitigate the negative impact to the environment as well as the community and its residents. - Waste: The Parish Council is concerned with regard to the amount of feedstock to be used at the AD together with the transportation and shipping in of the materials to be used in the process. The applicant is asking for a 30-mile radius to be considered, this will include Hull Docks and the potential for waste products/feed stock being brought in from other countries. - Transport/Noise: Most of the roads in this area are single carriageway apart from the short section of Leven bypass. Any vehicles delivering the feedstocks from the direction would have to travel down the A1035 to access the site. This is already a well-used busy road leading to coastal areas which carries a large amount of traffic within the holiday periods together with commuter traffic and heavy goods vehicles. The A1035 is located directly adjacent to houses within Tickton and Routh, this would have a major effect for residents from traffic and road noise levels 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. The Parish Council is also concerned with regard to these vehicles using Main Street, Tickton as a route to avoid the A1035 in the event of road closures due to accidents. The increased number of 28 tonne vehicles will create an even greater risk of more accidents and road closures. - Environment/Pollution: The Parish Council is concerned with the pollution of digestate and other by- products entering the water course and its effects to residents, wildlife and the environment. - Odour: The applicant has already admitted that there will be unpleasant odours arising both from the process in the application and from both the delivery and the storage of feedstock, as well as the digestate stored in the lagoons. As soon as the open lagoons are disturbed there will be obnoxious smells coming from them. These odours will be obvious over a wide radius, smells that no one will be able to escape in the area. Once these plants are up and running they cannot be stopped, running 24 hours a day, 7 days a week and because of this continuous process the stench created by them no one will be able to escape it and why should the residents in the area have to live with the fact that they cannot go out into their gardens or the local area and therefore be unable to enjoy the fresh air around them and the open countryside. - Leisure/Tourism: The East Riding of Yorkshire Council has over several years actively encouraged tourism to the area hence the developments of numerous holiday and caravan parks in and around Leven, Brandesburton, Routh and . An industrial development of this nature would have a devastating effect on them. Many people in this area are employed in the tourism industry. Visual Amenity: A development of this magnitude and of the heights quoted will stand out significantly and due to the nature of the landscape in the area it will have a detrimental impact on the visual amenities of this rural area.
