Grain store
At Knock Farm, the construction of a grain store is being proposed.
Grant and Geoghegan Limited is representing Roger Polson in the planning application.
Since 1989, the farm classified as a mixed pastoral farm has been run under the ownership of Mr and Mrs Polson.
Knock Farm covers approximately 1,100 acres.
Proposed community cafe
A Moray horse sanctuary has submitted a planning application to build a community cafe and meeting place near their base.
Touchdown Memorial Home for Horses near Keith has put forward the plans for the building on unused land near its equestrian centre.
Last year, the Moray charity issued a plea for new volunteers.
In the past week, Moray Council has also determined some applications.
An electrical substation will go ahead at RAF Lossiemouth, with glamping pods at Dallas farm also approved by planning chiefs.
Electrical substation at RAF Lossiemouth
Plans for the construction of a new electrical substation to serve RAF Lossiemouth have been approved.
The development will consist of a transformer, switchgear building and new access
to an existing track.
The site to the south of the RAF base will be surrounded by a 4m high fence.
Tetra Tech Planning represented Defence Infrastructure Organisation in the application.
It comes as the RAF has ramped up Nato and domestic operations in response to increased aggression from Russia.
Glamping pods at Dallas Farm
At Thorabella Farm near Dallas, glamping pods will be built.
Future Plans Architects Limited represented the farm in the planning application.
The three glamping pods will be used for farm stays and unique holiday lets.
Owners previously said they hoped the move will boost the farm’s profile.
In a planning statement, the farm said: “A further important use of the pods will be to provide accommodation for workers required at busier times of the farming calendar.
“Open farm days are planned where the public can come and see pet lambs, goats and friendly, docile and affectionate buffalo.
“We also want people to learn more about the farming life they live and provide an education to all ages understand farming life and diversification.”
Further planning applications can be viewed using Moray Council’s portal.
