Foxholes Farm at Little Ness, near Baschurch, has asked Shropshire Council for permission to add two new poultry houses to the site – in a development that would require around £1.5m of investment.
An application submitted to the authority explains that the farm, which currently has eight poultry houses for 450,000 birds, is permanently moving to higher welfare standards.
