Just wondered if anyone has done this for a new farm building recently, either themselves or has employed a specialist to do so on their behalf?
It looks like a box ticking demand from the local council to me,but build cannot start until approval is granted apparently?

We had to have approval for our 5000sq ft building. We are storing and using the rain water. It's all about attenuation of runoff, and a pita that has added complexity and cost.
The outdoor manège we constructed has also had this as a planning requirement.
The suds team recommended putting in a pre application to get it right first time.
