flag Inspectors denied Sheep Hey Farm’s appeal to build a manure lagoon, citing insufficient evidence and environmental concerns.

flag Government inspectors have rejected an appeal to build a slurry lagoon at Sheep Hey Farm in Shuttleworth, upholding a prior council decision. flag The farm sought the 30m by 20m lagoon to store manure and fertiliser, reducing costs for 400 cows across nearby holdings. flag Inspectors found insufficient evidence supporting the need, particularly regarding green belt impact, and dismissed claims the site qualified as "grey belt" land. flag Concerns included the lagoon’s size, potential odour, fencing, and unassessed visual effects on nearby homes. flag Without adequate proof the project would protect residents’ quality of life, the appeal was denied. flag The lagoon will not be built.
