    AWDM/0534/23 Submitted 8 Sep 2023 50 yards away

    The erection of a Mongolian Yurt, known as a Ger. 18ft diameter and 10ft height (including the wooden base) to be placed in the well-being garden at The Fen Farm - Sompting Community Farm. The Ger is a wooden framed structure with an outer canvas covering. The aim is for the Ger to be in place all year round to serve as a dry area for volunteers on the farm to gather for meetings and food growing, craft and mindfulness and well-being activities. The Ger is an original Mongolian Yurt that travelled from Mongolia to France about 30 years ago. It has been in situ in Northern France for many years and it has recently been gifted to the charity to be used at the farm. The plan is to restore the Ger to its original splendour. A small solar panel will be ground mounted for lighting. A small ramp will be created for wheelchair access.
