Bebb Wallace of Bebb Farms submitted the application to Powys County Council to build two units both housing 50,000 chickens at Hendre Poeth in Llansantffraid.

The application, which was discussed by Powys County Council's planning committee last week stated that the farm currently has poultry units for 65,000 chickens.

However following a storm back in 2013, the buildings have fallen into disrepair and the new ones will replace them.

In a consultee response in the planning report, Llansantffraid Community Council has stated that the plans need to be clearer and need to be clarified.
