Poultry farms

Requested Sun 23 April 2023
Responded  Thu 04 May 2023

This is an Environmental Information Regulations (EIR) request regarding new intensive poultry farms.

1. How many planning applications have been filed with your council between 01/01/23 and the day this request is processed with regard to a new intensive poultry farm (if you need a specific capacity, I define 'intensive' in the same way as the Environment Agency, that is, more than 40,000 birds)?

2. How many of these applications have you approved to date?

3. For each approved application, please provide a brief summary of the new intensive poultry farm, including (where possible) the farm's capacity, acreage, ownership details, address and Eastings and Northings.

4. For all approved farms, I would also like to request any planning application documents (including any environmental assessments submitted to the Council) and any approval documents sent from the Council to the applicants.
