Officials in environmental health jobs have given their stamp of approval to a poultry shed application.
Following the passing of the proposal, a new hen house will be installed at Redcliffe Farm in Lebberston, North Yorkshire.
The free-range shed will house around 6,000 birds when it is completed in about 12 months time, reports the Filey and Hunmanby Mercury.
Some concerns had been raised during the consultation process about possible problems with rodents, waste and flooding, but environmental health officials declared that any potential complaints in the future will be looked into if and when they occur.
Daniel Brown, of Brown Eggs, said: "We're investing to carry on in egg production, so we're really pleased the application has been passed."
Last month, staff in environmental health jobs declared a petting zoo in the north-east of England to be free of E.coli.
The Tweedle Animal Farm in Blackhall Colliery was investigated following allegations made against it by an animal rights group, reported BBC News.
