In July the Council considered an application from the Royal Arsenal
Co-operative Society, Ltd., for the establishment anew of the business of a slaughterer
of cattle and of a tripe boiler, at premises to be situated at Clothworkers Wood,
Woodlands Farm, Plumstead. A Public Inquiry was held by the Public Health
Committee, and after listening to the various objections put forward and considering
the evidence given the Public Health Committee reported that they were not
satisfied that the objectors had proved that the proposed businesses would be a
nuisance or affect injuriously the residents of the neighbouring houses, and that
they were of opinion that the proposed businesses were necessary, and the proposed
site was suitable. They therefore decided to recommend the Council as follows:—
"That the application of the Royal Arsenal Co-operative Society, Limited,
to establish anew the businesses of Slaughterer of Cattle and that of Tripe
Boiler at Clothworkers Wood be granted, subject to the following conditions:—
(1) That no dwelling house shall be erected within 100 feet of the proposed
slaughterhouse.
(2) That the existing licence operating at Abbey Wood slaughterhouse
be discontinued when a new licence is issued.
(3) That all appropriate by-laws and statutory provisions be strictly
observed.
(4) That the screen of trees proposed, be maintained effectively during
the period of operation of the licence."
The Council adopted the recommendations.
