Pigs & Poultry

Pigs and poultry present specific issues when considering new buildings whether it is an intensive broiler unit, free range poultry sheds or structures for pig breeding.

The normal planning principles of locating development adjacent to existing buildings doesn’t apply and this presents specific planning issues as does the need for an Environmental Impact Assessment in many cases. The sheer scale of some proposals means reaction from planning officers and the public can initially be negative.
