PLANS for a chicken farm near Knighton which were at the centre of a legal dispute earlier this year have come back before Powys Council. Earlier this year, environmental campaigners Sustainable Food Knighton won a legal battle to stop a 110,000-broiler chicken rearing unit at Llanshay Farm being built. The group believed the permission which had been given to applicant Thomas Price in September 2020 by planners under delegated powers to be unlawful, and applied for a judicial review on the decision. After a High Court Judge granted permission to proceed to a full judicial review hearing, PCC conceded the case and had to pay £20,500 in court costs.

Sustainable Food Knighton protest against the 110k chicken farm planned at Llanshay. From September. ENVIRONMENTAL campaigners are claiming a legal victory, and that planning approval of a 110,000 chicken farm near Knighton will be quashed. But a date for a Judicial Review remains in the court lists, and it is likely that the application will remain in the planning system waiting for a new decision. Sustainable Food Knighton (SFK) said that Powys County Council (PCC) hasd conceded that it had acted unlawfully in granting planning permission last September, for a 110,000 broiler chicken intensive poultry unit (IPU) at Llanshay Farm near the town.
