Prior approval was not required by Gravesham Borough Council for the construction of controlled atmospheric store at a large top fruit farm near Shorne. The Council acknowledged and approved the agricultural justification put forward for a small amount of on site controlled atmospheric storage, to reduce the amount of traffic movements for storage on other holdings. This requirement was considered to be acceptable within the Metropolitan Green Belt.
