Exploring an Abandoned Mad Cow Disease Slaughter Abattoir

The explore
I didn’t even know this location existed but I got given the location by a close friend the area of where it is situated but I’ve just done a little bit of Google research and I found out where it was and the horrifying history behind it as well I first visit this location wearing gloves old clothes and got ready the disinfectant as I heard this place is very contaminated with high mad cow disease remnants that still remain in and around the building the building itself has seen its state of decay but some of the rooms are in immaculate condition just looks like the people just left yesterday and just natural decay has set in
History
What is mad cow disease
Mad cow disease is the common name for a disease affecting cattle that slowly destroys the brain and spinal cord. The human form, called variant Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (vCJD), is a rare and fatal degenerative disorder that destroys the brain and spinal cord over time
Update 2020
Housing estate plans for old animal rendering plant has, withdrawn
Controversial proposals to build a housing estate at an abandoned animal rendering plant outside have been dropped following years of planning. which has been likened to a “horror movie setting”, was previously used to process cattle infected with BSE, known as mad cow disease.
The site, has stood empty for about 15 years, with there being widespread concern that the ground remains contaminated.
But developers eyed up the seven-acre plot for housing, and Trevor Heathcote - the man behind numerous companies, including Countrystyle Recycling - devised a scheme to build a 20-home estate.
The proposals were granted outline planning permission in 2018 by Borough Council, but a legal challenge from resident Camilla Swire halted the project’s progress.
And now, three years after gaining the go-ahead, Mr Heathcote has withdrawn the application.
The bid proved divisive during the planning process, but former Secretary of State for Housing, Robert Jenrick, determined an environmental impact assessment (EIA) into potential land contamination was not necessary.
The proposed housing development has been withdrawn
However, a legal challenge was launched and a High Court judge found the minister lacked “expert evidence” in reaching his decision. The ruling was therefore overturned and an EIA was required. Now, 18 months down the line, the application has been pulled - without any sign of an impact statement being submitted.
A decision notice from this month signed by Ashford council’s head of planning, Simon Cole, states how no further action will be taken due to the bid being “withdrawn at the applicant’s request”.
It is not known if the developer is considering a revised application or if the project is now dead in the water. The planning agents for the scheme did not respond to a request for comment. was one of just four locations in the UK authorised to dispose of carcasses infected with BSE as mad cow disease crippled cattle numbers in the late 1990s.
The site has been vacant for years
Nearby residents had long complained about the smell and lorries bringing dead livestock to the site, with reports of piles of carcasses regularly being dumped in the yard area.
Back in 2018, it was estimated that the cost for developers to properly disinfect the site would total £1.75 million.
Councillors recognised how the old mill “has the most dreadful legacy” and looked favourably upon the idea of giving it a rebirth as a housing development. But with the plans now withdrawn, it seems the neglected site will remain an eyesore with an uncertain future.
2023 the site has been cleared and stared to build house now
