The council is also stipulating that the energy facility shall only accept non-waste plant material as a feedstock.

No material can be moved in our out of the site between 7am and 7pm the following day, and the plant cannot operate on Sundays or bank holidays without the council's written approval.

Hibaldstow airfield was used by the RAF during the Second World War.

Today it is popular with parachutists taken up by plane to enjoy their sport in the skies over North Lincolnshire.
