Join us for this unique opportunity to visit Cobblers Farm in Worcestershire, the inspiring home of Hannah and Rob Collins. Despite facing challenges and with limited resources, they have successfully built up a thriving farming enterprise from the ground up.

This inspiring couple, both from farming backgrounds, were driven to create a sustainable future for their family. They purchased a 40-acre greenfield site and, through careful planning and determination, established a successful calf-rearing operation and permission for a family home.

Event Highlights

• Farm Tour: Explore Cobblers Farm and witness firsthand their innovative calf-rearing facilities.
• Gain Rural Planning Insights: Learn about the strategic planning process that led to the development of the farm and successfully securing planning permission for a permanent rural dwelling.
• Connect with experts: Engage with Hannah and Rob, alongside experienced planning consultants from The Rural Planning Co. Take this opportunity to discuss your own rural planning and farming challenges.
