I was one of the hundreds of residents who received a two-page letter from Onyx, with its crisp colour CAD illustrations and an aerial photograph of the proposed facility in Hollingdean, Brighton.

It was all very Fifties, futuristic and "happy happy" marketing of what is an enormous rubbish dump.

And you know what they say: "The bigger the dump, the worse the smell."
