Cuffley Anaerobic Digester
It looks like war has broken out in Cuffley over plans to build an anaerobic digestion plant.
"THE farmers behind controversial plans to build an anaerobic digestion plant in Cuffley have rubbished claims it will pose a risk to health and believe villagers are being misinformed.
Brothers Adrian and Howard Williams, of D Williams and Co, are seeking planning permission to build the eco-friendly plant and a compost facility at Cattlegate Farm."...
But neighbours aren't happy and it looks like there has been plenty of mis-information spread round.
After a TH visit in 2009 to a similar digestion plant near Bishop's Stortford, it is hard to see what the fuss is about. I certainly don't remember the site being smelly. Extra traffic is never good news, but it equates to one extra lorry per hour passing through Cuffley. If the overall balance is reduced carbon emissions, the digestion system would seem like a good idea.
What do others think?
