Thank you very much George. I’ve only just skimmed a little of it but I think it answers what I’m trying to do. How do I go about informing the council that I intend to erect a building that qualifies for permitted development please?
You must seek Prior Approval and that requires similar forms to a planning application. The easiest way is via the Planning Portal or you can request the appropriate forms from the council planning department.

Make sure you get an orange notice put up. Our CC turned down an application because they "forgot" to put the notice up, and it was only up for 19 days... they then came back fighting the second time round but got their dates wrong so we got it by default. It was a blatant time gaining exercise for refusal. Also submit it on line, not by post. The 28 days starts upon receipt of application, not from when they decide to look at it and respond. Overlapping the end week of the prior notification with the end week of school holidays, long bank holidays and the Christmas period also helps if your council are hard work to deal with.... ensure the application is complete with nothing they can question and payment is sent online at point of application, or they will kindly wait 26 days and throw it out

Just make sure you check the airfield 3km rule might not affect you but up this east coast there a lot of old raf runways used for, gliders, micro lights, light aircraft, parachuting and that’s an immediate height rejection and loss of the fee. Was never an issue up until about 10yrs ago when everything became digitised

This is one that I struggle with as there is no one single database of airfield's. Local knowledge is important in this instance.
