Owners of a controversial poultry farm are facing enforcement action after failing to secure planning permission.
Golden Valley Paddocks, in the Woolley Valley, has been told it has to remove ten poultry units, a caravan, shipping containers, a lambing shed, dog kennels and feed hoppers, as well as rehome 750 ducks.
The work has to be done after the business had five retrospective planning applications refused by Bath and North East Somerset Council last month.
The authority's development control committee has now agreed to take enforcement action against the poultry farm and will be writing to them demanding all non-permitted development be removed within two months.
The council has said the farm should also submit another planning application to formalise alterations made to an agricultural building, the creation of a hard standing and farm track, and the construction of a stock pond.
Changes to the site's access, which included fencing and gates, were completed more than four years ago and are now immune from enforcement action.
Last year the High Court ruled that B&NES Council had been wrong to decide that most of the development did not require planning consent, and that the local authority needed to take a tougher stance.
Residents in the area set up the Save Woolley Valley Action Group, backed by broadcaster Jonathan Dimbleby and musician Peter Gabriel, because they believed it was a blot on the landscape.
