What This Query Usually Needs To Settle

Main route

Start with the main agricultural building page for Charnwood, then use the rule pages below if permitted development rights and boundary distance rules is the reason the answer is not straightforward.

Rule signals

  • Agricultural buildings in England can benefit from Part 6 permitted development rights where the land is a genuine agricultural unit and the proposal is reasonably necessary for agriculture, but larger schemes often still go through prior approval on siting, design and external appearance. The practical farming case, siting and external appearance usually matter more than a single dimension on plan.
  • Buildings should not be sited so close to roads, homes or sensitive neighbours that noise, odour, traffic or visual impact becomes unacceptable. Road proximity and relationships with protected buildings can remove or limit the PD route. The practical farming case, siting and external appearance usually matter more than a single dimension on plan.

Why this page exists
