Complex chicken farm plans have contributed to planning service problems, a senior manager has said
Since 2015 the county has dealt with around 150 planning applications for both broiler and egg-laying poultry units. As the applications are “significant investments” to the applicant and can cost anywhere up to £150,000, Mr Davies explained that more time to sort out problems but this means that the timescales have “dragged on”.According to Mr Davies this means that planning officers can be redirected to deal with other applications and is a “significant reason” that the backlog of applications is now falling.
