Breckland Council has granted full planning permission, external for a biogas plant near Thetford, which will process tens of thousands of tonnes of maize and manure to generate power.
Objections had been raised by Bridgham and Roudham parish councils, particularly over the number of lorries moving to and from the site. Local residents also raised concerns about the effects the plant would have on the countryside and the supply of agricultural land for food production.
