Almost 100 objections have been lodged to a major dairy firm’s plans to create a biogas plant near Kippen which could be decided next week.
Graham’s the Family Dairy (Property) Ltd has submitted an application to Stirling Council seeking permission to install an anaerobic digester - which would turn cow manure and dairy bi-products into biomethane - on land 255 metres north east of Mains of Boquhan.
Council planners are recommending conditional approval of the application for the site, which extends to 1.9 hectares and lies north of the A811 on open Carseland.
