Chediston Farm Tracks Halesworth Road Chediston Suffolk

Awaiting decision East Suffolk DC/26/1461/AGO2 Prior Approval Details Agricultural

Works: Windows or glazing

Still open. Anyone can comment while the consultation period runs, and comments go to the council rather than to us.

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.
