UK family farm plans on building large potato store
If approved, the 36.6 by 8 metres steel building would be on Street Farm, off The Street, matching surrounding agricultural buildings. The store would include an open loading canopy, office and machinery store.
A design and access statement read: “The business has limited potato storage of its own... Moving all of potatoes directly off the farm at harvest time is a logistical problem, a very inefficient use of labour, due to the sporadic nature of harvest. And with its intensive nature, an intensive use of the local road network.”
According to edp24.co.uk, the store would not be near any homes.
