The following, copied from, Coombe Farm, Website. Perhaps, some time in the future, this paragraph will need up-dating if Warren Farms planning application is approved. Not sure wild life they have attracted will enjoy 28 days of none stop shooting and perhaps employees will want to find a slightly more peaceful place to picnic, along with several hundred local residents,as far away from the constant sound of shot gun fire as possible. The landscape is dominated by the large natural “Coombe” providing a spectacular back drop to a farm ...........lets hope it stays that way, so all can enjoy, present and future residents. There are other ways to diversify and will be supported by the local community! At the base of the “Coombe” a main tributary of the river Axe rises and flows through the lower part of the farm, we have taken the opportunity to use this resource to create four ponds above and below the factory site. With the aid of landscape designed tree planting to create both new and enhance existing woodland we have been able to create a wildlife attraction that is also available for the employees to enjoy as a picnic come recreational area. The farm also has a substantial number of veteran trees and mature hedgerows that help to support a variety of wildlife, hedgerow flowers and insects, all farming activities ensure a suitable hedgerow margin is left so that these features remain undisturbed. Coombe Farm has also entered in to the Organic Entry Level Scheme which has enabled us to further enhance the natural environment of the farm by taking out areas of land from agricultural production to provide beetle banks, improve existing hedgerows and plant out field corners with native trees to create small areas of open woodland.
