Scottish Ministers are being asked to lift a ban on using animal waste to feed an energy plant after East Lothian councillors accused its developers of "greenwash".
The developers of the planned anaerobic digester at Bangley Quarry, north of Haddington, had their application to have a condition barring them from using animal by-products (ABPs) lifted rejected by East Lothian Council's planning committee in March.
Greenforty Developments had claimed they had been approached by local farmers keen to supply "slurry and manure" to the plant in return for the resulting compost in a "fully circular economy".
