Some local history for readers who do not reside in #Kernow:

"Dairy Crest Limited, owned by Saputo Dairy UK, which produces brands such as Cathedral City at its Davidstow plant, pleaded guilty to 21 of 27 charges brought by the Environment Agency. For committing this catalogue of offences, the firm was fined £1.52 million at the crown court on 23 June 2022. It had already agreed to pay costs of £272,747"

From the Environment Agency's briefing note:

"We continue our work to review the site’s current environmental permit. This is to ensure the permit provides sufficient protection to the River Inny...

The Operator’s own application for a permit variation includes changes that would enable an increase in cheese production from 9.6 t/hr to 11.4 t/hr."

I cannot help but think that the residents of #Davidstow will have a few things things to say about that!
