Fruit farm gets the nod

3:25pm Wednesday 17th March 2010

A MAJOR soft fruit business has been given permission to downsize its employee accommodation.

S&A Produce was refused permission last May to house 1,000 seasonal workers at its Brook Farm base in Marden, forcing bosses into a re-think.

The revised plans featuring room for 850 workers in a mixture of static caravans and dormitories along with the removal of accommodation ‘pods’, were given the nod by members of Herefordshire Council’s Planning Committee this afternoon.
