Our farm shop has a turnover of summat like £150k/year and no rates payable, classed as a small rural enterprise or something along those lines.
If there are rates to pay I believe they can backdate them if they see fit s better to get it sorted anyway.

My local supermarket takes well over a million pounds every day in the run up to Christmas, I don't think we are quite in supermarket league.

About 20 years ago I was lady through the checkout when the small Hertford Tesco used to close at 8pm. The cashier started cashing up and I casually asked how much the till had taken. She said on a busy day it could be £200k

How long do people have to object to a planning application? I was under the impression there was a set time limit and after that it was their hard luck? Any one care to enlighten Me please
Public consultation for a standard planning application is 4 weeks from the published date. The council can extend this if new information is submitted during this time or if additional information is submitted after the end of consultation then they can make the decision to reopen consultation for anything up to an additional 4 weeks.

So for example if an application went in the 1st of march people have until say 31st march and then anything after that may or may not be considered? I'm thinking more in terms of private objections/comments not those of the likes of nrw or highways
That's correct. A standard planning application is a standard 8 weeks from validation (unless there are complications) so the first 4 are for comments from neighbours, general public, highways etc and the final 4 are for the case officer to make their decision, seek clarification or additional guidance before writing their report.

Excellent just trying to get my head around it all. So if objections were received after the initial 4 week period and no mention of them before should the planning officer be ignoring them totatlly?
It is down to their discretion for example if the next door neighbour had been in hospital for an extended period or on holiday abroad. Or if by miracle it raises a not before important reason for consideration but in my experience most objections are either jealousy or NIMBYism. Ultimately the case officer needs to make his/her decision based on the policies set out before them. If the objections can't be supported by policy then they can't sway the decision.

Regarding PN for a non-livestock shed, does this still have a 400m rule? We are just big enough to qualify for a 465m2 shed (not that we will go that big) but we are surround by houses (it;s not built up, but not really much farmland adjacent)

Rule only applies to livestock sheds.
