Prior Notification for General Purpose Agricultural Building

Objective:

The client wanted to achieve planning permission for a general-purpose agricultural building for use as a farm machinery store and workshop. 

Proposal:

The client instructed us to prepare a 28-day notice via permitted development to modernise the facilities for machinery storage and repair to reflect the increasing size and technical capabilities of contemporary agricultural machinery. 

Local Planning Authority:

Braintree District Council

What the consultant Says


The client’s farm was a cross council boarder whereby we had to carefully consider the implications of previous permissions and how to approach the proposals between the two councils.
