Under 5 hectares building limitations?
« on: January 17, 2020, 07:12:12 pm »
Hi all,

I have a 4 acre plot of agricultural land. So it falls within the 0.4-12 hectares range. I see lots of info saying this limits the building potential, but I can't find out how or sizes.

We have been given approval to build an agricultural building, I just got off the phone from the council. So they will be sending more detail over, but knowing them it won't be for a while...

The lady said the size would depend on how big the land is.

Any ideas the size i'd be allowed?

If you can justify the size and need for its use  i have seen people obtain 80x 30 portal buildings
If council refuse you can appeal and put your case to planning inspector.

You fall under developments allowed under Class B of the agricultural prior notification rules. Looking at these they do not allow new buildings - that would need planning permission - but do allow modification and extension of existing buildings.

Legislation is here and has details on dimensions etc:

Thanks for the comment. The council have said they would give permission for an agricultural building and that the size is dictated by the size of the land. But I was curious what scale people had managed to achieve on smaller sized land as mine is

I had submit a full planning application with justification for a 45ft x 30ft barn. Similar sized plot of land.
