The plans were, among other things, to build a warehouse next to the current dairy in central Boxholm.
The municipality's community building committee gave the go-ahead, but neighbors to the dairy appealed, they believe that the expansion is contrary to the detailed plan for the area.
The County Administrative Board gives the neighbors the right and cancels the municipality's decision.
Arne Karlsson (S) is chairman of the public works committee:
- We had in mind that our decision would probably be appealed, but we took a chance.
Can lead to even larger expansions
Arne Karlsson says that the consequence may now be that the municipality is forced to make a new detailed plan for the entire area, something that can take two years and risk the entire project.
Anders Birgersson is chairman of Glada Bonden, which took over when Arla closed down cheese production in Boxholm a couple of years ago.
He thinks it is sad that the expansion plans have been stopped, but believes that the business can continue anyway:
- And if there has to be a new detailed plan, we can take the opportunity to make much bigger changes for the whole area.
