Hard standing etc

[Bruce Almighty]

What are the rules with regard to extending your farmyard into a field with hardcore ?
I'm not talking to a massive extent

We have a horsey neighbour who told me today that we shouldn't be extending our yard with out PP.
Someone else told me you are allowed 10% a year.
Our neighbour has 2 very close neighbours who object to everything & anything she does

Might come under permitted development, but would need to know more details

@George from SJM Planning will know the specifics.

Permitted development will partly suffice if more than 25m from a road. You may need prior notification though.

Be careful also because you need planning permission for an “engineering operation” which is very vague but my interpretation is it pretty much means anything that is dug with machinery.

Permitted development info here:

Planning permission for farms

When you need planning permission, where to apply, what counts as permitted development and how to appeal a planning permission decision.

[George from SJM Planning]

Providing you have permitted development rights and the track is for the use of agriculture then you don't need Planning Permission but if you are likely to have people complaining then might be worth seeking a lawful development certificate before you start just to be sure

Thanks for replies.
Does permitted development mean you have to apply on 28 day notice for an area of hard standing, or can you just extend 10%, if you can extend 10%, how often can you do it ?

We've never had any problems adding a little bit at a time to the yard, but don't have any neighbours or anyone looking nearby.

I've done the same but now want to build a shed at the other end of new yard so have to apply for permitted development and hoping council don't realise the yard hasn't always been there ?

Can you prove when it was done? If longer than 2 years ago you could argue that is doen't affect your Prior Notification application. They may still ask you to apply for a Lawful Development Certificate or at worst Retrospective Planning but it shouldn't affect the new building.

just looked on google earth and the new yard shows itself in 2015
