We've been running a dog walking field on our land for 7 years without planning permission. However, we do pay rates on the field and it is registered with the local council as a dog walking field. At one time 2 members of the local planning team would walk their dogs here.
My question is this, If the council have given the land a ratable value as a dog walking field do I still need to apply for retrospective permission? Surely the council can't charge rates on something that has on planning, can they??
