New farm track. Planning permission?

[tullah]

I want to make a no more than 50 metre gravel track into a clay field for car access only.
I can dig a hole and get the gravel from an adjacent field. I thought as gravel will be sourced on farm then no p permission needed.
We have always jfdi in the past.

SHOULD require Prior Approval

Am I right in thinking, that is only for the road, you can dig up stone on the same farm and use it on the farm without needing permission? I did think there was something like you could add 10% to the existing farm tracks with out permission, am I mistaken on that?

I have put hundreds of meters of road in in the past seams ridicules to have to get planning now

Don’t know where you are, in Scotland you need prior notification... Unless of course you can demonstrate that the track already existed and you’re just upgrading existing infrastructure

Is it within 25m of a road?

Is it within 25m of a road?

That would need planning permission if it is a classified road

This was my thinking.

No. It’s an extension of a mid farm track, 500 metres from public highway and nearest property but just visible from hardly used public footpath. Be mad to go asking the council if there’s no need to.

I'm 99% sure that you could get that under 28 day permitted development notification.....but you would still need to submit an application if you were wanting to do things right so there was no risk of comeback.

Repaired a road marked on the 1860 OS map.
Council tried to stop it.
Just laughed at them.
Added more in value to the farm than the road cost!

Yes own stone for own land.
Two farms down put in a large wind turbine, acces road went through 4 different farms to the 5th. They Dug 5 borrow pits for stone, one for each farm, saved getting planning, or saved on something for the borrow pits, so I was told.

Just get on with it: the road was already there you just tarted it up!
