New Sites Needed to Meet Poultry Production Demands

In the UK, there’s a significant change happening with chicken stocking density on broiler sites. The industry is moving from a standard of 38kg/m2 to a lower 30kg/m2. That means to produce the same amount of chicken, this country needs more chicken sheds!

Using our Geographic Information System (GIS) we’ve been able to identify the perfect locations for potential new poultry developments. We have been instructed by a client to find sites for the development of new sheds. Our client is seeking to develop cutting edge poultry sheds which are at the forefront of British farming, with world leading welfare standards and meat quality production. We took our client’s requirements around planning constraints, developed a custom GIS model, identified the suitable land from the remaining data, engaged with the landowners, and our team are now working the process through to get options to purchase agreed.
