Summary

The council meeting primarily focused on the discussion and decision-making regarding a proposed concrete batching plant at a recycling center. The debate centered on environmental concerns, traffic implications, and the potential benefits to local infrastructure projects.

  1. Decision on Concrete Batching Plant: The council debated a proposal for a concrete batching plant intended to support local RAF base construction. Concerns were raised about increased traffic, potential noise pollution, and environmental impacts, particularly regarding local wildlife like the Stone Curlew. Proponents argued it would reduce aggregate transport needs and support significant local projects. The decision was deferred for further information on traffic impact, noise levels, and the exact use of the produced materials.

Additional Information: The meeting saw active participation from local ward members, particularly concerning the impact on Brandon despite the plant being in a different ward. There was a notable request for more stringent enforcement of operational conditions to mitigate potential dust pollution. The absence of a response from the parish council and the need for more detailed traffic management plans were highlighted.
