A FARMER has sought permission from Cheshire West and Chester Council to demolish his dilapidated buildings.

Peter Bennett recently bought Coneygreave Farm in Little Budworth but wants to build a larger steel-framed unit.

Agent David Evans said: “The new unit is to be used as a replacement for the existing buildings which are currently used for housing cattle, hay, straw, feed, workshops and milking parlour.

“The new owners do not intend to continue with a milking herd but to simply store cattle.”

All submissions accepted until Friday, April 30.
