Grain Store via Prior Notification

Objective:

To achieve planning for a grain store via prior notification 

Proposal:

To submit an application which would allow our client to modernise and expand its system and capability for grain management on the farm. Despite the location being within greenbelt, agricultural buildings are permitted as a development considered acceptable within this area. The success of the application enabled grain and other arable crops to be efficiently tipped by modern tractors and trailers onto the floor of the building and segregated for grain drying management. 

Local Planning Authority:

Brentwood District Council

What the consultant Says


The proposed building was located within greenbelt, therefore the proposal fell under exemptions given by National Planning Policy Framework which allows for agricultural develops in greenbelt areas.
