Applicant N & J Crow has applied for permission to build a livestock building with feed silos, an office/plant room and vehicular access at Cherrington Manor, near Newport.

In its design statement it says: “Cherrington Manor is a successful farming enterprise looking to diversify to ensure the enterprise remains so, meaning the development of the livestock building is acceptable in principle since it relates to a well-established agricultural enterprise,”

“The proposed development will assist in the day to day running of the farm ensuing its viability and continued growth.

“The building is acceptable in principle, being in keeping with the character of the site without having a significant impact on any neighbouring properties.

“The development has been designed to ensure that the farming operations can be managed in the most efficient manner and will ensure the application complies with the latest animal welfare regulations.”
