The farm is intended to house 48,000 birds.
Ellerdine Grange Farm, at Ellerdine, between Newport and Shawbury, has submitted plans to Telford & Wrekin Council for two barn egg laying units which would hold a total of 48,000 chickens.
They say the development lies with an area with a ‘background of archaeological remains of the prehistoric through to post-medieval periods’. “Should the farm be reused for its original dairy farming use, the traffic generation would involve a daily HGV milk tanker, together with substantial movements for feed, bedding and fodder,” the application’s design and access statement said.
It also highlighted the ‘tight geometry of bends’ and a ’90 degree bend’ to the north of the farm and said site access ‘look particularly constrained’. The applicant’s design and access statement concludes: “The proposal in question has been carefully considered by the applicants and the numerous assessments undertaken, together with the plans ensure that the proposal does not give rise to any unacceptable effects.
