VILLAGERS in Stow Bedon, Norfolk, are being plagued by strong ammonia odours from a nearby pig farm which continues to operate despite breaching its planning conditions.
Cherry Tree Farm contains 7,000 pigs owned by Cranswick plc, one of the UK’s largest meat producers.

Instead they were built with flexible curtain walls which means strong chemical smells waft through the sides of the barn and hang over nearby residences.
