Martyn Langford has submitted an application to Natural Resources Wales to change the environmental permit for Rhosddu Farm (permit number EPR/AB3095HL).

This change, termed a ‘variation’, is a legal requirement under the Environmental Permitting Regulations (England and Wales) 2016.

We have assessed the application and are minded to issue the variation. We are now consulting on our draft decision.

Application Details

Operator: Martyn Langford

Application reference: PAN-025564

Regulated facility type: Environmental Permitting (England and Wales) Regulations 2016, Schedule 1 installation, Part 1, Section 6.9 A(1)(a)(i) - Rearing of poultry or pigs intensively in an installation with more than: (i) 40,000 places of poultry.

Site address: Rhosddu Farm, Llansantffraid-ym-Mechain, Powys, SY22 6TH

The operator has proposed the following changes their permit:

an increase in the number of poultry places from 56,000 to 64,000

replacement of the existing 16,000 bird flat deck (perchery) house with deep pit manure collection with a 24,000 bird multi-tier house (aviary) with a manure-belt system

Our draft decision

We are minded to grant the permit variation. We will only grant a permit variation if we believe that significant pollution will not be caused, and the operator has the ability to meet the conditions of the permit.

The permit includes appropriate conditions to protect human health and the environment.
