# Agricultural Building Planning Statement

PROPOSED AGRICULTURAL BUILDING

OATLANDS FARM

OATLANDS ROAD

SANTON

FOR

OATLANDS ESTATES LIMITED

The farm comprises approximately 500 acres of arable grassland with the main crops being oat, wheat, barley and beans which support approximately 80 beef cattle.

The farm buildings comprise a farm house with associated single and two storey buildings many of which are stone built and date from the 19th century thus are not suitable for animal livestock shelter or the housing of large agricultural machinery. There are also small modern framed buildings.

The proposal is to extend an existing machinery shed and construct a new farm machinery shed.

Presently the farm has 7No. 4x4 tractors, 6 large twin axle trailers, a JCB digger, a load all, a combine harvester and considerable smaller plant all of which needs to be protected.

The present owners bought the farm in 1971.
