Help Protect our Best and Most Versatile (BMV) land from unnecessary development
The Emily Estate has acquired 2500 plus acres locally and over 11 farms including an organic farm it has decommissioned. It now wishes to build a significant new farm in an unspoilt area of countryside that is grade one soil which is rare in the south west.
Agricultural experts say that both manor farm Yarlington and Castle Farm Castle Cary can still be used and are viable farms.
Natural England Guidelines say that existing buildings should be reused and any development should be in the farm curtilage. The Emily Estate proposals do neither and threaten to concrete over 22000 m2, running alongside the national Monarchs Way and ruining what is described as a most cherished view.
