ABC Planning has granted permission for a free-range poultry shed in Middletown, Northern Ireland, accommodating 28,000 hens. The shed will have a floor area of 3031.0125 m² and a height of 8 metres. The planning application, submitted by Henry Marshall Brown Architectural Partnership for Marcus McCall, also includes four feed bins.

To mitigate environmental impact, the ammonia emission rate per bird has been reduced, and poultry litter will be removed weekly. The development aims to enhance the viability of the existing medium-sized livestock farm. Additionally, planning was approved for passing bays on Drumahean Road to improve access.
