  Manor Farm Grove Road Knodishall Suffolk IP17 1TL

  Prior Notification (Agricultural) - Construction of a small agricultural pump house comprising a concrete base and prefabricated steel-clad building measuring 4.0m x 3.0m (12 square metres total). The building will be located in close proximity to a farm reservoir and used to house irrigation pumping equipment, pipework, electrical controls and associated infrastructure serving agricultural irrigation activities on the farm. The building will require 500mm depth of excavation to situate the concrete base.

Information on how water is captured to be serviced by this pump house can be found in DC/25/1855/AGO2.
