Conservatives Reject Proposal For Broiler Plant In Mancetter

Wednesday, 9 March, 2016

At a recent meeting of the Planning Board at North Warwickshire Borough Council, an application to build a broiler plant in Mancetter was rejected by councillors. Local Conservative ward members Margaret Bell and Denise Clews made a clear and coherent case for refusal, bringing the attention of the Board to the areas of the application that were ignored or understated by the Environment Agency. Their strong case against this application led to a unanimous decision by the Board to reject the application.
