A TOWN council is protesting over plans to erect a free range poultry unit for 12,000 hens in the North Yorkshire countryside.
Boroughbridge Town Council is also opposing a tandem planning application for a mobile home to serve the egg farm.
In its protest to Harrogate borough planners, the town council said it objected to the poultry units and mobile home because it would be a development beyond current limits, in the open countryside at Stump Cross Farm, Boroughbridge.
Members of a Harrogate area planning committee are expected to make a decision at a meeting in Knaresborough on Tuesday.
