Planning Application For A New Intensive Beef Unit

Following the initial refusal of the proposed relocation of a farmyard, Acorus were brought in to design and assist with a subsequent successful planning application for a new intensive beef unit on a Greenfield site in Staffordshire.

The new farmstead has been designed to accommodate 300 head of beef cattle together with grain storage, straw barn and calf rearing building. The building floor area equates to approximately 2,928 square metres (31,505 square feet) of agricultural buildings.

The 250 acre farm was formally run as a dairy unit however the original farmyard has now been sold off and the traditional buildings converted into seven dwellings.
