Why this is not right for Lusk
• Commercial development in RU Zone
• Too close to too many people• Offensive Odours• 7x24 Plant noise and
emissions• High risk of pollution
(Watercourses)
• Waste produced by others
“Protect & promote in a balanced way the development of agriculture and rural-related enterprise, biodiversity, the rural
landscape and the build and cultural heritage”
The “Brown Bin” waste to be processed here will be generated by almost 400,000
people. The population of Lusk is just over 7,000.

The experience of other communities
• Farington Lanscashire– “…before it was built, there were three things they told us: ‘It won’t be an eyesore, your
property won’t be affected, and it won’t smell.’ Categorically all of them have been affected in a big way”
• Cannington Summerset– “Odour described in the area as a ‘mix of dog dirt and burnt plastic’ (BC World News, June 2013)
• Cannock Chase Staffordshire– “Persistent Complaints. Bad smell affecting residents 800 metres away”
• Holsworthy, Wales– “On summer days, depending on wind conditions, the smell could be detected 1.5 miles from
plant”
• Osnabruck, Germany– “It stinks to high heaven...”
