The site was given planning permission to generate electricity fuelled by anaerobic digestion of the farm's waste. These appear to be the digesters for the permitted use. Not long after, and after this view (I think), the plant was extended with another larger digester and much extra feedstock was imported by road from elsewhere. This was beyond the planning permission, and after a few years fighting and frequent serious water pollution episodes the plant closed down and the company went bust.
