It all started with one worker and 18 cows
The large farm complex is located within open countryside around numerous buildings, and as the site area is about 7,780 square metres it is classed as a major development. The application states the family wants a central custom-built space for its staff as its office spaces are spread out, crowded and with inefficient flow and poor access. The proposal also states the firm needs capacity at the offices to support future growth.
As part of the proposal there is also an area to showcase the history and development of the farm and the business, to be used by visitors and employees “to understand the history of the business and its evolution”.The scheme, which has been backed by Leyburn Town Council, would also see two agricultural buildings, a weighbridge and surface water collection pond, added to numerous planning permissions granted over the years.
They include buildings to house dairy cows for milking, a biodigester, slurry lagoon, conversion of existing building to flats for farm workers, a farm office and large agricultural buildings for parking farm machinery and vehicles.The new pond is designed to collect “grey water” and also be recycled to be used on the farm for washing machinery, irrigation, stock and controlling dust on site.
An officer’s report to a meeting of the council’s planning committee on Tuesday concludes the proposal would be justified in the countryside location to support the needs of an existing and expanding farm and associated businesses at Washfold Farm.It states: “The proposal will not significantly harm the character of the countryside, and any harm will be minimised through significant tree planting and landscaping.
