Hundreds of planning applications for new farms or extensions come into local authorities every year that seek to grow our number of intensive systems or ‘mega farms’, and we want to put a stop to this. Will you help us convince local councils to reject the proposals below?
Application objections
Mid Suffolk egg incubation facility
We objected to an application for an intensive egg incubation facility which, if accepted, would incubate approximately 170,000,000 eggs each year to be reared in intensive poultry units once hatched. We will update you on the outcome of this proposal.
Lincolnshire poultry farm
We objected to an application for an intensive poultry unit which would house over 180,000 chickens at one time, leading to the slaughter of almost 1,500,000 birds per year. We will keep you updated on the outcome of this proposal.
Breckland poultry farm
We objected to an application for an intensive poultry unit which, if accepted, would lead to the slaughter of over 2,000,000 birds each year. We will update you on the outcome of this proposal.
Lincolnshire poultry farm
We objected to an application for an intensive poultry unit which would house over 500,000 birds at one time, leading to the slaughter of over 4,000,000 birds each year. We will keep you updated on whether this proposal is accepted or rejected.
Staffordshire poultry farm
We objected to this application for an intensive poultry unit which, if accepted, would lead to the slaughter of over 500,000 birds each year. We will update you on the outcome of this proposal.
Breckland pig farm
We objected to an application for an intensive pig farm which would keep thousands of pigs in cruel conditions before their slaughter. We will update you on the outcome of this proposal.
West Suffolk poultry farm
We objected to an application that would house tens of thousands of chickens at one time. We will keep you updated on whether the council accepts or rejects this application.
