Tern Farm, in Longdon Upon Tern, is a 524-acre arable holding farm that benefits from having reservoirs for irrigation on the southern part of the farm.
Planning agent Ian Pick, of Harrison Pick Ltd, has told planners at Telford & Wrekin Council that access to the farm is currently via the single-track Tern Lane.
“Tern Lane is a single track road which passes through a residential area and is not suited to take large modern agricultural machinery and heavy goods vehicle traffic which are required in connection with the operation of Tern Farm as a large arable farming business,” he said.
