Is planning required for an agricultural barn?

Do You Need Planning Permission for Agricultural Barns

Planning permission entirely depends on the size & type of building you are hoping to erect on your site. It will also depend on the size of the site, and what the building will be used for. 

There are permitted development rights for certain acreage & use, but we would always recommend that this is checked on a case-by-case basis. 

What is Agricultural Barn Planning Permission

Simply put, this means whether someone has gained planning permission to be able to build an agricultural barn on a piece of land. 

If planning permission is required, this is done through & granted by the local council.  

The Different Types of Permitted Development Rights

There are several different types of permitted development rights when it comes to agricultural buildings, for example if your farm is 12.5 acres or more, then you have permitted development rights to erect, extend or alter an agricultural building below a certain size. 

This is always worth checking with your local council/planning department before moving ahead with any plans.
