Planning application

AGN/000621/26

GROESFFORDD BACH, Whitford, Holywell, CH8 8SD

Awaiting decision Flintshire Prior Approval Agriculture

Proposal

The proposed building is for agricultural use as the agricultural business is expanding and the number of livestock increasing. The new building will be used for the storage hay, straw and feed and will be located within close proximity of the existing buildings on the holding. As the number of cattle in particular has increased the purchase and storage of greater quantities of feed and straw is necessary. The applicant also prefers to make say as his view is that is less expensive and more environmentally friendly as there is not use of plastic wrap and fewer tractor operations are required to make it so less diesel is used. To be able to store a greater number of bales and tonnage of feed this building is required

What happens while it is decided

The process from here

This application is with Flintshire for determination. The council publicises it, consults neighbours and technical bodies where required, and weighs the responses against local and national planning policy.

The statutory target is eight weeks for most applications and thirteen for major development, though extensions of time are common. Comments carry most weight while the case is undecided, so check the council portal for the deadline if you want to respond.

About prior approval applications

How this application type works

Prior approval applications arise where permitted development rights already grant the principle of the work, such as larger home extensions, changes of use to housing or agricultural buildings. The council may only consider the specific matters set out in the rules, for example transport, flooding or appearance, and in many classes the work may proceed if the council does not respond within the deadline, commonly 56 days.
