The guy's not building a gigafactory in his garden, is he?

All true of farming. FWIW as a fellow NIMBY myself, I use the excuse of 'animal flow' (in particular the flow of bats) to prevent anyone from putting anything more than a fence up within 150m of my house. It's great!

How could this possibly be known without a review in your opinion?

> fellow NIMBY myself

Unless you're American, things don't have to be so binary. The choice isn't between nothing gets built or anyone can just do whatever. We need a balance.

> All true of farming

I'm pretty sure birds and bees and what not prefer having plants than factories.

By all means, have planning applications and a system to process them. Things don't have to be so binary.
