Who we are

We are all long time residents in the locality of the proposed development.

Originally we came together as a Neighbourhood Watch Group at the start of 2020,

A meeting of the Angus Council Development Committee (October 2020) discussed the Request for Scoping Document from COGEO Ltd. associated with the Development but this Committee was not open to receive comments from the public at that early stage.

We then became aware of how difficult it is for local residents to influence planning policy and decisions, and the frustration this caused prompted us to form this Group.

We have made many contributions at the consultation stage, all of which have been totally ignored by COGEO and Cononsyth Farms Ltd..

We have mixed reasons for fighting this proposal, some of us are totally against industrial animal processing, others have environmental concerns and we will also campaign as indivduals to support these personal beliefs.

We are however, united in our determination to contest the existing proposal and achieve a fair hearing for our views from Cononsyth Farms Ltd., COGEO Ltd. and Angus Council

We have seem what has happened in Wales where there have been 167 applications to build poultry sheds since 01/07/2015, causing widespread pollution of iconic rivers. We don't want this to happen in Angus.
