TBH I cannot see what he is moaning about.

It's not his land and I cannot think of anything horribly bad about the pile of silage ? Might be a bit noisy as they begin to use it I guess ?
It wouldn't bother you if it was right outside your house?
Not your own silage pit either, one owned by someone else, so you had no control over what happened with it?

This is just typical of the kind of people that live in the countryside today, i,m no fan of ad but if it was,t that it would be a pile of cow sh!t or chicken sh#t. I have these important types living around here with there 600k houses, they expect the countryside to be noise free and smell free. Most have dogs they walk as well, and they don,t stick to footpaths either, anywhere they roam.

It’s similar around here but I wouldn’t put a pile of chicken sh!t or silage outside someones house. There’s a difference between general countryside smells and goings on and this is not that.

It's not really in the countryside , the bulk of the feedstock comeones from w potato prosesing plant next door, why would you build a 600 k house up a lane to an industrial park

Do you get much effluent from maize silage? It’s usually fairly high DM stuff.

I thought the heap was probably nearer 2000t (certainly not 200,000!) and presumably a temporary store if it’s clamped in a field?
It’s not just maize, they process veg on site so the digestate will have a ‘bit of a nose’ on it.

“Woodmansey Business

Our History
The Dutch migrated to Hull and the East Riding of Yorkshire in the 1930-40’s in their 1000’s and, with their superior knowledge of horticulture under glass and their farming skills, they transformed the area – providing employment, infrastructure and integrating into the communities. In Woodmansey many such families arrived and on this 20 acre site the Los Family built greenhouses and became salad growers.

Development
Over the years the greenhouses here have been replaced by offices, warehouse, factories, retail units, tourism and leisure facilities, incubation units for “start-ups.”
