New shed- all under one roof?

Why though? Just because your in a wet area? Plenty of land is well draining, heavy stone infestations, nowhere near a river? Take Cotswold brash as an example? I’ve been taking bales across turnip fields to feed the ewes all winter, hardly on good tyres either ?‍♂️
Think it’s what will be pushed especially with all the floods lately. All the sheep’s fault if they weren’t there the ground would absorb more water hold it back and reduce the run off. All a load of rubbish in my opinion but I think that is what will be pushed now, then when that doesn’t work and floods still occur will probably be the fault of the sheds the sheep are housed in!!!

All you need is a nice 4 bedroom house banging up by the tractor in the bottom left hand corner and the job will be ? Perfick!

It would!
Be even more perfick if one wasn't fingered for internal alterations without affecting the footprint and for being 10ft to the right of the original plan
But that would be dreaming

This may be a future plan for me, one massive shed for grain and feed and one massive shed for bulls. Green field site and new house. And build housing on the farm yard I have (it's in a village).
I can't find the best place on the farm to build it and I'm not sure I can be bothered with the upheaval.
Plus there is the slight issue of planning.

Do your 1000m2 straw shed for £96 then extend with full planing Just done a 360x120 on same process saved about £6k

Which is fine and dandy until you get fingered and the planner discover livestock inside or evidence of livestock usage.

Mind you, there is merit in going up to the max for the min money but iirc there has to be two years between each subsequent extension (might be wrong but certainly applies to permissive development- and that cannot be for livestock)

The extension has gone on full pp and it is more than 400m from a private house so livestock ok in PD
 
Just out of interest - if you put up a shed without planning and it goes unnoticed - what is the length of time before it becomes untouchable? 7 years rings a bell?

As far as i am aware, in NI if you are within 75m of an existing farm building then you do not need planning

I might be wrong but I believe it's 10 years.

I didn't think agricultural sheds needed planning :unsure:

A boy here had an old caravan that the council wanted him to move and he stuck some hen boxes and hens in it and they left him alone, caravan still there to this day!

Reminds me of the old guy from Barra that took a sheep with him in the car on the ferry so he only paid headage rates :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO:
