“not everyone in Scawby Brook objects to the biomass plant, I for one don't despite the fact that it will be less than 0.5 miles from my house. I do have some concerns over the traffic that will have to travel to the site (as the route that the lorries will have to take is not ideal) and the risk of flooding (the brook has overflowed several times in the last couple of years), but not enough to object to the plan. The majority of the flooding recently has been down to the change in climate and the covering over of land, we rarely object to yet more housing but some people object to something that could help with the climate situation. Before anyone asks if I've read the plans the answer is yes along with the environmental report.”

“We the uneducated use the word ' spent ' in the past tense not 'spend ' as the educated people in Scawby Brook without an E use. Brigg people will feel the impact of the Biomass plant just as much as Scaby and surrounding areas but I for one would be willing to put up with it if the plant were to provide jobs and Eco friendly energy.”

“Firstly, the vast majority of objectors to this proposal are residents of Scawby Brook (without an 'e') not Scawby. It is very easy to come on here and make uneducated remarks about people who have spend a great deal of time looking at the planning application. It is not a case of Nimbyism, there are real concerns with this application, hence the reason it was withdrawn.”

“NIMBYS abound in Scawby , they were opposed to th power plant but it provides electricity for their homes, they are opposed to straw burning plants but still eat bread, they are concerned about traffic but still do the school run in the Subaru 4x4 ( 100yrds down the road) .Most of the established residents of Scawby and Scawby Brooke will have benefitted from the Beet Factory as would the unemployed of this area if a Biomass Plant were built . Save the planet or do we just bury our heads in the sand at the bottom of our quaint country gardens.”

“Have the people on here read all the documentation relating to this application? I very much doubt it or they wouldn't be on here making stupid comments about this. There are very genuine concerns about this application regarding flooding and traffic movements that ECO2 have not yet fully addressed. The flooding issue was the reason that the application was withdrawn earlier this year.”

“They should put a NEUCLEAR power station on the Beet factory site, then the NIMBYs would have something to moan about! Did they moan about the volume of traffic taking Beet to the factory when it was working?”

“Why are so many people against new ideas to make our energy supplies more viable?
Out Keadby way they are opposed to the fantastic wind farms and now these people are opposed to the idea of the once ever so lovely looking and perfumed aroma of the Sugar bet factory being replaced by a substainable energy plant?
Flaming whining luddites”

“Som epeoplemake me laugh,we have an energy crisis looming large and they moan that the ever so lovely looking and sweet smelling Sugar bet factory is to be used for the purpose of eleviating this crisis to some extent.
nimbyism at it's best”
