VF facility plans set for green light

Plans for an East Yorkshire vertical farming facility that could support the creation of hundreds of jobs look set to secure approval on December 8th.

Key Growing Ltd, supported by Geoffrey Prince Associates, submitted an application to East Riding of Yorkshire Council earlier this year for an extension to Woodmansey Business Park.

Planning permission is sought for a vertical farm complex (VFC) for growing micro salads, herbs, soft fruits, bulbs and flowers, together with free standing office buildings and starter units, all served by the existing on-site anaerobic digestion plant.
