Plans to build a replacement poultry unit in Syleham have been given the green light by planners. Mid Suffolk District Council has approved a proposal by J W Havers and Son to build a replacement free range poultry unit and ancillary development at Park Farm, in Hoxne Road. Picture: iStockThe report said: “The replacement of the existing mobile shed would have improved environmental performance, preventing muck leaching into the soil, improve animal welfare and improve biosecurity and seek to address consumer demand for free range eggs. “It is considered that the proposal is sufficiently justified.”Hoxne Parish Council supported the application but raised concerns about the impact of additional HGV traffic at the Syleham Road and Green Street junction. Suffolk Highways did not raise any objection and said it considered the access was considered safe and suitable, while the develeopment would not have an unacceptable impact on highway safety.
