With post Shoreham Duxford airshow displays seemingly moved westwards to avoid the M11, is this planning application going to impact on future shows – a 25M chimney is part of the plans for “a larger building to house a new energy from waste (pyrolysis) plant”…

This isn’t about what they incinerate but the proposed chimney stack which is 10m higher than the existing one on site and it’s possible effect on operations at Duxford.
Closing date for objections is 12 October 2015.

Indeed they do. They had the contract for collecting dead animals from veterinary practices too – presumably including ones that were not to be given a ‘personal’ send off.

People go there because they think they are getting a special service and the correct ashes back-well you may i don’t know but if you have a place like that i daresay they need quite a lot of corpses to keep it viable.

I have no mislaid “sympathy” – I used Pet Crem as most know it as that and indeed last time I drove by it had large signs, either side of the entrance, stating “The Cambridge Pet Crematorium”. :rolleyes:
I guess keeping the site disguised as a place your pet is cremated is better than plastering “We Burn Anything and Everything” on the entrance?

Although the crem unit is always presented as a “Pet Crem,” in fact it is a fully industrial unit. In the past, it helped to dispose of many of the mad cows which had to be rendered down, and even now I suspect that it deals with more large animals on an industrial footing than little late lamented fluffy pussies. So it should have no more sympathy than any other industrial development.
And yes, it would affect the approach to Duxford’s runway. Even the windfarm, which is a lot further away in the opposite direction, is something of a hazard when the cloudbase or visibility is low.
