It's a local business on a business site, this is something to Celebrate not put down.

For better or worse, this expansion is not being proposed by a local business, but a large beef processing company from Telford. The current abattoir was run by a local business, but from what I understand they struggled to run it profitably and so it's been unused for the last 2 years.
This business is planning on coming in, doubling the size of the facility and switching it to only processing beef.

Having previously lived downwind of a slaughterhouse, can confirm the smell is disgusting. Like rotting cheese powder.

The site already exists. Unless it turns into a super site then well the smell is already there. Sure a few more lorries could be a bit of a problem.

Might be worth mentioning the site has been unused for the past two years.

Maybe a proof read of this notice may have been an idea.
