As per title do you require change of use planning permission to fatten pigs in redundant poultry buildings? There would be no change to the exterior of the buildings the only conversion work would be interior, the site had all relevant planning permission passed for a broiler unit back in the day and operated for donkeys years, so was/is an established agricultural unit, and I'd want to stay under the threshold that would require an environmental assessment.

Because a tennant of mine has raised an objection , and we are all paying for the benefits scrounging trouble maker.

i did a degree in planning in a different time, seriously though i did do a degree in it and in pretty sure your fine, i would go with turra farmer, even if there is an issue the time it takes the councils wheels to turn to come up with some thing enforceable (and thats if) the pigs will be mature and off the farm
