RR/2025/2047/FN
NEW CROSS FARM Mill Lane, Peasmarsh, Rye, East Sussex, TN31 6XA
Proposal
For general agricultural storage of tractor, machinery and equipment, hay and silage storage, and as a workshop for machinery The proposed agricultural building has been designed specifically for its agricultural purpose and is of a proportionate size for the needs of the farm holding, and the storage of hay and silage produced on the land, and machinery that is required to be stored within. The farm currently has only one existing building that can be used for agricultural purposes, which is being used for feed storage, lambing and brooding pens. The building that was originally erected for the storage of farm machinery and general storage (under reference RR/2004/3114/FN) is now in use as a boutique hotel following its prior approval for such use (under reference RR/2018/1447/P). The site therefore does not have any appropriate buildings suitable for modern storage requirements, so there is a distinct need for secure and weatherproof storage of machinery and equipment as well as an area to store silage and hay. The building will also offer a small agricultural machinery workshop space.

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.
