Write an objection to the council then. A petition will have no effect but if you read about the grounds on which you can object to planning applications and make a complaint on that basis they will be forced to consider your objection.

Noise / smell / traffic / pollution are probably the issues which would usually be considered on this type of thing, but it depends very much on location. If there is no-one living nearby then I doubt it would be a problem.
There are minimum standards by DEFRA but they are so pitifully small that I doubt the farm violates them, it would be worth someone checking the plans though.
I don't think there is anything we can do, by all means sign a petition but don't expect much. If you found out some useful information the best bet would be to pass it on to someone locally to object. If there was a serious scandal the local paper might be interested, but I don't think they'd be interested in the moral issues around rabbit meat.

A quick browse on the DEFRA website leads to this -

http://www.defra.gov.uk/news/2011/12/06/higher-welfare-eggs/

so how can farmed meat from rabbits need any less consideration?

plus it's interesting that rabbits don't feature on the farmed animal section

http://www.defra.gov.uk/food-farm/animals/

Could that be in our favour as if there's no guidlelines for them as food, the regulations for pets applies?
