Conditions imposed on green fuel production
Published Date:

GREEN fuel production is to be allowed at a farm near Chichester.
Chichester District Council has approved plans by Chichester Grain Ltd to use former grain stores in Priors Leaze Lane, Hambrook, for processing rape seed and waste vegetable oil from the catering industry to produce biodiesel.
But permission was limited initially to a period of four years, during which the operation will be monitored, and also subject to planning conditions.
Planning officers recommended approval.
However there were objections from both Southbourne and Chidham parish Councils, as well as from some local residents.
Southbourne Parish Council said the location was not right for an industrial use of this nature and in the past had only been used for storage.
Chidham Parish Council said people in Hambrook would suffer from the proposal, and that it would allow industry into an area where previously there had been none.
