A proposal to create a new facility that will turn waste into energy has been met with objections from a Norfolk council.
A developer hopes to create an anaerobic digester plant on farm land at Estuary Farm off Edward Benefer Way on the outskirts of North Lynn.
Formal plans are yet to be lodged with Norfolk County Council for the scheme, but opinions are being sought on the proposal.
The site could be created near an existing waste operation but it is already being met with local opposition.
West Norfolk Council planning officers have called for it to be rejected due to the potential effect it would have on the environment.

In a letter to NCC following a consultation, the authority said: "The proposed development is likely to have potentially significant effects on the environment due to the nature of the development and size of the site, together with the site’s proximity to protected sites."

A local living nearby has also objected, complaining creating a second site would be "unacceptable for safety, odour and health concerns".
People can comment on the proposal on NCC's planning portal (Reference no: SCR/2024/0002).
