🌾 Big changes are on the horizon for a Pembrokeshire farm! A plan to transform the land for dairy use is expected to get the green light from the national park authority, despite some locals voicing concerns. 🚜
The new farm owners are eager to roll out a milking parlour, collecting yard, feed pad, silage clamp, and a dirty water lagoon — quite the upgrade! 🐄 They’re setting up for a herd of 360 dairy cows plus 90 followers, aiming for a more sustainable, low input system. 🌱
While there are worries about shifting from sheep and arable farming to more intensive dairy operations, with possible environmental impacts, no planning permission is needed to switch farming types here. Plus, any future expansions will require new applications. 📑
Visibility issues were brought up, but it’s argued that the new structures will blend well with the rural landscape. The development promises long-term sustainability for the farm, keeping the charming essence of the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park intact. 🌄
All eyes on the committee meeting this September for the final word! 👀 Stay tuned!
