A 26-feet tall farm building will be erected on prime agricultural land after the government’s planning inspectorate overturned a decision to reject planning permission. The reversal means West Lancashire Borough Council has been overruled and the giant indoor mushroom farm can be built on land considered to be among the best quality in the country.
The plans will see Smithy Mushroom’s enterprise expand into a new building on land at Bungalow Farm, off Heaton Bridge Road, Scarisbrick.
