Prior Notification for Farm Tracks

Objective:

To achieve permission for a series of farm tracks under Permitted Development Rights. 

Proposal:

Our client had secured funding under Catchment Sensitive Farming to improve the network of existing farm tracks which are crucial for year-round access to farmland. By securing permission under Permitted Development Rights, we have achieved a swift application and the client can immediately begin resurfacing tracks to improve access for large farm vehicles and machinery.

Local Planning Authority:

Chelmsford City Council

What the consultant Says


We not only overcame a previous refusal for a farm track on the site, but have successfully obtained planning permission under permitted development for over 2300m of tracks.
