Plan permission to poultry megavars in Sharbeshire It was rejected by the ruling that the activists welcomed the victory over the cleaner.
On Tuesday, the verdict supported a judicial review of Dr. Alison Cavin, who argued that the Sheropsheer Council failed to observe all the environmental effects of the industrial chicken unit containing 230,000 birds at any time when it was granted planning permit.
In particular, she said that officials have failed to take into account the effect of the spread of compost on the ground.
Mr. Fordham at Cardiff’s Supreme Court canceled the planning permit. In its ruling, he said that the council failed to assess the effects of compost or digestion legally – a secondary result of the anaerobic digestion of poultry fertilizer – as indirect effects of development.
Fordham also found that the council failed to assess the fact that there are multiple polluted poultry units in one region, especially in light of the high density of large poultry units in the Severn River gatherings.
Cavin, who brought the judicial review on behalf of the River River campaign group, said that the case highlighted the regular failures in calculating environmental losses due to groups of industrial poultry farms in one area. She said: “There are approximately 65 chickens per person in Sheropsheer, yet the council still believes we need more.”
Emma Dernali, head of the River’s legal law, said that the case was “a great victory over our rivers … the extensive spread of agriculture must end.”
She said that the ruling had consequences for other councils that must now take the health of the broader region to consider and consider the broader consequences when it comes to agricultural waste.
“No more megafarms without looking at the largest picture,” she said.
The case argued that the height in the large largest poultry units, known as IPUS, in the valleys of rivers Wye and Severn was The main cause of the river pollution Since chicken waste contains more phosphate – which are starving from fish and river plants – more than any other animal fertilizer. The intense poultry agriculture also says air pollution, as requests say to the court.

Shropshire, HEREFORDSHIRIRE and PowYS provinces It is home to more than 50 million chickens At any time, Cavin, who searched the IPUS scale in the region, argued that this puts huge pressure on the Wi -Wivern rivers.
Cavin has argued that increased poultry cultivation in the Sheropsheer would cause a similar environmental disaster on the Severn River as it suffers from WYE. She said that the site of the suggested unit in Sherubsheer is only 400 meters from the current match, which seemed to be in a violation of government guidelines that say that IPUs should not be built 3 km (1.9 miles) from each other due to the risks of biological security for the spread of influenza among birds between sites.
The Sheroubeshire Council approved the planning permit after the applicants promised to transfer compost to the third -party anaerobic unit. But the ruling said that the spread of digestion, which still contains high levels of phosphates and nitrates, had an indirect effect of the council’s failure to evaluate it.
