Search the Public Notice PortalPlans for two major agricultural buildings have been submitted to Pendle Council.
Banks Chartered Surveyors submitted the plans on behalf of Mr P. Emmett to build the two barns on land off Foxen Dole Lane, in Higham.
The current farming operation consists of 45 beef cattle and 100 breeding ewes, all of which graze outside year-round.
A planning statement said: “In order to aid the growing process, these animals need to have indoor housing for the winter months with intensive feed and clean bedding, which will also improve animal welfare.
“The applicant calves his suckler cattle and lambs his breeding ewes, retaining the best offspring to continue improving the herd/flock.
“The plan is to further increase numbers but before doing so, purpose-built livestock housing is required to improve animal safety, animal welfare and to enhance the fattening process.”
The proposal will provide housing for livestock, agricultural machinery storage, and muck storage, which will enable the storage and rotting down of the manure before it is spread on the land.
The first building will be 100ft long, 80ft wide, with eaves of 23ft, and a ridge of 33ft.
Meanwhile, the second building will also be 100ft long, but 30ft wide, 16ft eaves and a 20ft ridge.

A planning statement added: “The proposed development is proposed on a site which is predominantly heavy hardcore forming part of an agricultural track.
"The location is central to the landholding, to enable easy access to all the land.
“The proposed development is screened by existing mature woodland in all directions. If additional landscaping is required, the Applicant is prepared to undertake this.
“The surrounding area is characterised by extensive agricultural activity, including various farmsteads, barns and associated infrastructure.
“With this, the proposed development would not introduce urbanising features incongruous with existing dwellings but would reflect the prevailing rural character and ongoing agricultural use of the land.
“Given the functional need for the development, it is pertinent to point out the limited visibility, appropriate scale and use of sympathetic materials.”
