Background
The SSSI is only 500m away from the proposed area. Pollution, noise, light and air from the proposed 24 hour operation at the plant will endanger the rare birds at the SSSI and the wider nature reserve. The area is a prime birdwatching location, and is home to rare birds like the Egyptian Goose and expanding species like the Little Egret. The area supports many transient and breeding birds. Traffic caused by trucks will increase the likelihood of a road traffic collision with local cyclists.
