HyNet Carbon Dioxide Pipeline

We are extremely concerned about the lack of willing and meaningful engagement from Senior Stakeholders on the CO2 Pipeline scheme, in particular given that a large Above Ground Infrastructure apparatus is to be installed and will permanently impact land crucial to the running of the family dairy farm enterprise. We have requested that HyNet seek to relocate the AGI to a more suitable position. This is to be further exacerbated by plans to connect a second pipeline carrying CO2 from the Hanson Cement Works at Padeswood will lead to this parcel of land being affected for several years. We are also concerned about the long term impact to the remaining land and soil structure following its use as a construction compound and from flooding arising from the new infrastructure which could reduce the productive capacity of the land and impact upon the viability of the farming business and its ability to be farmed by future generations.
