First two paragraphs are valid planning concerns, the rest is just paying lip service to the concerns of their residents
I picked a site nearest to the main road that doesn’t pass a single house to access,it’s also the furthest point away from the nearest houses,it’s also central in a 100 acre block of land I own,the original farm buildings were sold for development by one of the objectors.
If I don’t get planning I will just make a coral using artic trailers with a temporary roof.
Have you included a statement of need in your application?
No I only put minimal as I simply thought it wouldn’t be a problem.
Can I add more info to the application once the consultation widow has passed?
You can try. I would suggest writing an email to the case officer explaining that after reading the comments that you would like to explain the choice of location and the need for the building.
I will use this opportunity to bring something up which may seem obvious - most planning officers (and members of the general public) have no idea of agriculture.
So, whenever you submit an application I urge you to include details of why the building is needed, explain what it will be used for, why it needs to be in that location etc.
Don't leave it to guesswork!

There are some permitted development rights for solar panels both on domestic and non-domestic buildings full stop what sort of building will they be on?

Open countryside, neighbour's, conservation areas , town, freehold property, rented, farm sheds , proximity to grid connections etc etc posibly goes on and on factors affecting?
Cattle sheds
I will dig out the legislation
No one can see them , even though there's neighbours 50 yards away , grid connection 20m

What is cattle shed age and structure like to cope with it possibly too?
1975 , steel purlins , fibre roof , would swap that to lessen weight , not sure galv sheets and panels go together though
I don't suppose you have any ideas about my situation. I'm due to inherit a small family farm of 30 acres from my parents, it is livestock with a small glamping business on site. The problem is the farmhouse is 20m from a huge 400Kv electricity pylon that is in the curtilage of the garden. My wife was keen to run the farm while I worked elsewhere until she researched this. The national grid data shows that background magnetic fields and electric fields are significantly above normal levels in the house and of course if any strong link was established to health issues the house would effectively become worthless. Over the years the pylons capacity has been increased from when I was young. As we have a baby on the way and young children my wife no longer wants to move in. We are currently renting and this is the only way we could afford to own a farm, so either we move in or we sell up the family farm and put the money towards buying elsewhere at some point in the future or forget farming entirely. In theory we have plenty of land on which to build another farmhouse much further from the pylon but it is all green belt land at the edge of a village that is not zoned for development. The current barns are positioned underneath the overhead power lines unfortunately. There are two possible fields that would suit a house (far enough from the pylon) but both are within 100m from a neighbours barns, one of which is used for livestock. If we did choose to sell I wonder if we would be waiting years for a buyer or whether the fact there is the chance to have a viable business on site would be enough for someone to overlook the pylon even if my wife can't be convinced, or whether a neighbouring farmer would be keen to buy it off us. I'd much rather just build a new farmhouse away from the pylon however than lose my family farm.
That is quite a situation and not one I have had much experience in - however I would suggest investigating the new farmhouse route via a pre-app with the council with the unsatisfactory living conditions and the requirement to live on the farm as primary justification.
Is the existing farmhouse anything special in terms of its architectural background? I would imagine it would need to be demolished if you were successful in getting a new one built elsewhere to avoid having two dwellings on-site.

I was told by planning officer here that you can send more info up until the point of the decision, the window is only to try and limit the commenting.
I wrote a letter counteracting all the points listed by various residents (similar to you, who weren't affected at all). The planning officer basically rewrote the points of my letter when it was approved; pretty sure it helped get it over the line.
