Submitted planning in principle for a dwelling on a 100 cow dairy farm with no existing accommodation at start of year. Was forced to withdraw application before it was refused. Started looking into it again and as I stay in local village planners say there is no need for a dwelling on site. Too make matters worse have found out today that section 75 are to be scrapped and am told this will make rural planning even tougher! Am at wits end with it. Any advice would be much appreciated.

Interesting. Have stressed the point that an AYR calving herd has animals needing attention all hours but they keep coming back to the fact you’ve made it work the last few years so why change. Yeah it has worked but as numbers grows the yo yo journeying from home to dairy is getting too much.

My neighbour just put one in for the new Romainian lad , put in for planning after , they can't touch you on welfare grounds .

Just looking through a localish council planning website at permitted developments part Q the dates are all over the place some not registered for 10 days or so after the application date and decisions made way past the statuary time frame of 56 days

I read a local one last night where part Q was granted, they then went along to have a look at it, found some domestic items in the building and revoked the permission on the grounds that it wasn't solely agricultural.
What a cock up there!

That should be easy to challenge on the basis that once permission is granted the site can be considered to be part of a domestic build. The council will have had ample time to inspect before granting permission in the first place & if they failed to do so then that's their problem, not the applicants.

@GeorgieB82 thank you for you input to the thread. I’ve currently got a PD to C3 application in and awaiting highways response, but I feel they might throw a slight spanner in the work regarding access (historic) which is on to a country lane (60mph). Do you happen to have or know of the document they would be working from regarding visibility splays etc.? Thanks in advance

The local council/highways usually have their own "Design Guide" for streets etc. I think a lot of it comes from National information that's then translated down into guides at a local level.

Here's some of the main stuff: http://www.standardsforhighways.co.uk/ha/standards/dmrb/index.htm

Hi
I have just had Class Q part a granted on a cowshed I recently purchased along with 5 acres. I applied for part a only because I didnt know what design I wanted. I have now however been informed by the planning officer if I want both a and b it would not pass because of the extensive building operations needed. Is there anyway around this? It’s structually sound but 2 sides are open. There also used to be an old cottage there and foundations can still be seen (not in same place as cowshed) . Can I go down the route of replacement dwelling but I would like to go bigger ? It was very tiny . Is there any route to go down to get a dwelling on my land?Any help would be much appreciated

as long as you build from existing footings you do not need planning you only need to use building control etc.
you could then possibly go for an extension?

if I was you I would fight as hard as you can to get part Q on the cow shed you then have the other plot for furture projects or £££

Is that correct @GeorgieB82 ?

I'm led to believe that if all walls are down then full PP is necessary to rebuild.
