A farm in Baltonsborough has been told by Mendip District Council that it can construct a new silage area.

A planning application for prior notification of agricultural development, for excavation works and construction of a silage clamp area for the storage of winter forage for the dairy herd at Briars Farm, Back Lane, Baltonsborough, was submitted by George Winstone.
