Proposal

The proposal is to improve and re-grade the levels on Bower Farm to create a more usable field area to the North of the Farm buildings. The eventual change of levels is consolidated to the proposed and approved new tree area shown in planning approval P1566.23. 500mm of top soil will be removed and the rougher excavated soil from the adjacent site, soil from the earth works relating to Bower House planning approval P1302.21, will be used to grade the site. The top soil will then be replaced and the area turfed and seeded for agricultural use.
