Council planning record

Agricultural extension to the existing farm building range, forming a covered agricultural storage structure required for the existing mixed farming enterprise at Vexour Farm.The extension will provide two straw storage bays, one covered muck store/farmyard manure bay (not for slurry or sewage sludge storage), one dry goods store and one grain store. The additional covered storage is required due to the increased scale of the holding and increased livestock numbers, which have created a greater operational need for straw, manure, dry goods and grain storage.Part of the proposed roofing over the muck store is supported by Catchment Sensitive Farming capital grant funding, as the covered muck store will improve farmyard manure management, reduce rainwater entering stored manure, and help reduce the risk of nutrient runoff and pollution.
