Hi,
I am looking to put a small (8x6) garden shed in my 1 acre field, for the storage of sheep food, hay, medical treatments etc for the maintenance of my small flock of sheep.
My field falls within a conservation area, therefore I am wondering if I need planning or not. Frustratingly, due to 'cuts', the local council have removed their 'check if you need permission' quick enquiry service, instead all enquiries have to go through the formal planning process.
So, even to find out if I need permission or not, I will have to pay £195 (more than the cost of the shed) to initiate the process.
Has anyone else had experience of putting a garden shed on agricultural land to use as a store?
I did put up a shelter (6ft x 6ft) 5 years ago to keep the sheep dry, and no-one has complained, though a shed might be more obvious.
Thanks in advance....
