Morton Ley, Morton, Oswestry

Roger Parry and Partners are currently consulting on the proposed poultry

development at Morton Ley.

The Environmental Statement (ES) has been prepared for JP & HR Edwards

by Roger Parry & Partners LLP. It accompanies a planning application for

a proposed intensive poultry installation at Morton Ley Farm, Morton,

Oswestry, Shropshire, SY10 8DG.

As a worst case, the proposals assessed for the Environmental Impact

Assessment (EIA) are for an intensive poultry development with the

capacity to produce 1,800 tonnes of broiler chicken meat per annum for

human consumption.

The footprint of the poultry buildings is expected to cover 5115.35m² and

the footprint ofthe office and shower is expected to cover 48.01m² totalling

approximately 0.51hectares (ha)within a site of 5.176ha. The buildings are to

be 5.0 metres (m) at their maximum height and the associated feed bins

7.5 m high. Hours of operation will be 24 hour seven days a week due to the

fact that it is a livestock enterprise requiring continual husbandry.

The proposal is a farm diversification scheme for JP & HR Edwards and is a

sustainable economic development as supported by national, regional and

local planning policy.

On a global scale the development amounts to an expansion of the UK poultry

meat production capacity and a stepcloser to self sufficiency in poultry meat

therefore reducing the need to import foreign producedpoultry meat and this

reducing greenhouse gas emission from fossil fuel consumption intransportation

of meat across the globe – so called “food miles”.
