Birchfield Farm to get jam, honey and cake production building
Plans to create a new building for producing jam, honey and cakes at Birchfield Farm at Summerbridge have been approved by North Yorkshire Council.
The proposed single storey facility will complement the farm's existing tea room and ice cream parlour.
Birchfield Farm is a family run working farm between Harrogate and Pateley Bridge with a range of children's attractions, including sheep, pigs, goats, and donkeys. It also offers lamb feeding, a maze and 'pick your own' events including strawberries and a pumpkin festival.
Plans were submitted on behalf of the applicant by Skipton based rural property planning and development specialists David Hill.
Plans submitted to the council said:
The building, which will measure 11.4 metres by 6.3 metres, will be situated in a concrete yard next to a farm building.
Case officer Edward Bainbridge's planning report said:
"When assessing the development against the relevant policies and guidance highlighted above it is considered that the overall landscape and visual impact of the proposal, including its impact on the AONB is acceptable."
The Stray Ferret has approached Birchfield Farm for comment.
