Planning application

Chediston Farm Tracks Halesworth Road Chediston Suffolk

Granted East Suffolk DC/26/1067/AGO Prior Notification Agricultural

Works: Windows or glazing

Permission granted. Work must normally begin within three years of the decision or the permission lapses.

Proposal

Prior Notification - Agricultural - The improvements of the tracks is essential for improving the efficiency of farm operations. The tracks will ensure a year-round access for farm machinery, which will enable better timeliness and ease of use for jobs which require mechanical assistance. This also extends the operational window, which allows contractors to work in more favourable conditions. Due to the very rural location of the site, there are no local roads which could serve the same purpose.

As published by the council, reference DC/26/1067/AGO
