I lived at Cononsyth when my children were very young. It’s a beautiful part of Angus and the neighbourhood is very conscious of the surrounding environment. They are mindful people and this development goes against everything they believe in and strive to achieve.

Health grounds pollution and waste
Also the additional heavy vehicle's on the roads especially Dundee Road Forfar which cant cope with more influx of traffic from Housing and Industrial development's causing more noise pollution speed congestion issues will have a huge effect on the residents living on this road

Let me just remind you that it is this same inability to behave in an ethical way towards animals that has led to Covid-19 and the ensuing lockdowns that we have all had to suffer. What a shame that you are unable to connect those dots.

Twenty years ago climate change was the reserve of the eccentric....The same will be true for animal rights in the near future.

With veganism growing at an impressive rate, your children will look back in horror that you were associated with such proposed developments.

Do not look back and feel embarrassed about your role in this world. It is time for you to take a stand and be a part of the future. One that your children and grandchildren will be proud of.

Climate change
Pollution & environment
Risk to human and animal health
Biodiversity
Flooding
Increased traffic hazard
Noise
Odour
Light pollution
Sets a president for development creep, and opens Angus up to further intensive farming planning applications.
I am against the building of intensive poultry unit (IPU) and the industrialization of the country side in Cononsyth, Angus.
