Construction of a specialist agricultural scientific research facility to measure performance of ruminant livestock and all gaseous emissions produced directly by the livestock, and indirectly from the manure that they produce (e.g. methane, ammonia and nitrous oxide). The facility will include two separate cubicle houses for cattle to allow comparison between various conditions. Building will house milking parlour with associated plant space, storage areas, loose pens and a small laboratory space for emissions analysers, staff areas and ancillary accommodation. Two 250m3 above ground slurry tanks. New building will be accessed via the current site-wide access arrangements. Demolitions of existing buildings within proposed site as noted on site plan to be carried out in advance of the works under permitted development.
