Methwold

A spokesperson for Cranswick says it is a "bad day for the sustainable production of British meat".

Councillors are due to give their verdict next week on plans for the giant farm.

Food company Cranswick wants to expand its farm and rear millions of chickens and tens of thousands of pigs.

Food producer Cranswick is applying to expand an existing site to rear more animals.

South West Norfolk MP Terry Jermy says the scheme at Methwold will "affect people and biodiversity".

Campaign group Sustain says Cranswick has not revealed predicted levels of greenhouse gas emissions.

The charity claims the impact of the facility on the climate has not been properly assessed.

A council says it has received 10,000 letters objecting to the proposal, described as a megafarm.
