Dear Local Resident,

WARNING: AN INDUSTRIAL ESTATE IS ABOUT TO BE BUILT ON FARMLAND BETWEEN BERKSWELL & MERIDEN

The owners of Home Farm, Meriden Rd, Berkswell, who live many miles away, plan to develop the farm into a more profitable industrial estate.

The creeping development process has already started as bit by bit planning permission is sought and the industrial estate built. We thought the old farm was simply being renovated but it was changed into ugly metal clad industrial buildings. Afterwards planning permission was sought for change of use into offices and industrial storage. The old cow sheds are now industrial units and only now have the true intentions of the industrial developers become clear and we find out this was just the start of a much larger plan to develop the entire farm area into an industrial estate; New industrial units are now planned!
