The farms about to build new poultry and pig houses.

A unit with places for more than 40,000 poultry, 2,000 production pigs or 750 sows cannot be built, or grow, without an environmental permit, and the application comes first. Between it and the first house going up there is a planning and design stage: the time to be the builder, the ventilation or the feeding system on the drawing rather than the third quote.

  • Held by a limited company formed in 2019, with one outstanding charge.
  • No houses on the site in the application's plan.

A new site with nothing built: houses, ventilation, heating, feeding and drinking all still to buy, by a company small enough that the owner decides.

What a poultry or pig unit permit tells a house builder.

An application for an intensive unit says whether houses are going up and how big the unit will be, months before planning is decided. For a builder or a ventilation supplier, that is the gap in which a farm chooses who draws it.

The size of the market first, without names: New UK pig and poultry units, counted weekly on CapexRadar, the engine behind Stanfell.

  1. Whether it is a new unit or one that already runs, which decides whether there are houses to build.
  2. The places applied for where the application states them, not the legal threshold the permit is named after.
  3. The company behind the farm, its accounts and who lends to it, so you know who signs.

Who builds and fits out poultry and pig houses.

  • Poultry and pig house builders
  • Ventilation, heating and cooling
  • Feeding, drinking and egg handling systems
  • Farm electrical and controls
  • Agricultural steel frame and cladding

Poultry and pig farm leads: your questions.

Are these the big integrators?
Some are, most are not. Many units belong to family farming companies growing under contract to an integrator, which is why who owns the company matters as much as the permit.
Does a permit mean the farm will build?
No. A permit allows the unit; planning and money decide whether it is built. The card shows what the record says and what it does not, so you call with the right question.

If this is what you sell, this is your category.
