What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

West Suffolk Council approved plans for four poultry breeder sheds at Cross Green Farm in Thelnetham, which will serve the supply chain of Cranswick plc. The facility, which currently operates as a pig farm, will be able to house up to 39,999 chickens. The decision was reached after the proposals were brought back before planners due to changes in the National Planning Policy Framework.

The approval allows the farm to transition from pig production to large-scale chicken farming, supporting Cranswick plc, a leading UK food producer. Residents raised objections to the plans, citing concerns over industrial farming and HGV traffic, and one resident questioned the accuracy of the waste and pollution reports used to justify the approval.
