Do I need planning for a dog walking field?
Mar 05, 2024
We get lots of enquiries about whether you need planning permission for dog walking fields.
The short answer is YES.
When you fence and enclose an agricultural field and start using it for dog walking, you have changed the use of that field away from agriculture. This change of use requires planning permission.
If this is something that you are considering then read on for further information or call us on 01299 667344

What is the difference between Green Belt and Greenfield?
Feb 27, 2024
The term "Green Belt" should never be confused with "Greenfield". These are not the same thing!
This article will help you to understand the difference which is extremely important in planning terms. The Green Belt forms part of the National Planning Policy Framework planning policy whilst Greenfield is a topographical description of land which is being considered for future development.

Do you need planning for a new agricultural gateway?
Feb 20, 2024
If you are creating a new gateway onto a road classified as A, B or C, then you will need planning consent from your local planning authority.
However, if the lane or track is unclassified, permission is not required unless substantial engineering works are involved such as soil excavation and/or bank excavation.
