Free Range Unit in Six Weeks

Free range units require extensive areas of land for grazing and therefore are often on openly visible sites.

Units don’t come much larger than a single 32,000 bird shed in a 32 hectare (79 acre) field which was proposed by one Norfolk farmer.

An Acorus poultry planning specialist gave initial advice on positioning the building and achieving the best access.

The application consisted of a full report, design and access statement, landscaping scheme and the necessary application forms prepared in conjunction with a leading egg packer.

The proposal was well received by the Local Authority and due to its good location received no adverse comment locally. Planning permission was achieved in approximately six weeks from the date of application.
