As part of our work with clients and partners researching and advising over the implementation of sustainable farming systems a need ofetn arises for notifications, applications and consents relating to changes of use, building work or other regulatory details.
We have wide experience and a detailed knowledge of the requirements in this field, and can advise over the best course of action. This can be most useful as it sometimes surprises people how Planning Officers often seem to have little agricultural knowledge and as a result can often mis-advise over agricultural planning law, policy and guidance.
We can offer a tailored service for the provision of ‘Independent Agricultural Appraisals’ and ‘Functional Need Assessments’ for Planning Applications as well as ‘Prior Notifications’ for buildings. We also have expert ‘Legal Associates’ who can handle any neccessarry specialist legal advice.
