Agricultural & Equine Needs Assessments

If you are in the position where you feel that you need a new or additional dwelling at your property, it is probable that you will need planning consent for a new development in the countryside.

If this is the case you are also likely to need to undertake a Needs Assessment. This will require you to demonstrate how the need has arisen and that the business, which has given rise to that need, is sustainable.

We have agents with the expertise to:

  • Assess the current business and its staffing
  • Appraise your proposals for the business
  • Review the labour requirements associated with your proposals
  • Stress test your belief that there is a need for a new dwelling so that you are prepared when the planners do this
  • Prepare a report for submission to the planning authority in support of a new dwelling if this is the conclusion reached

In light of the above, if you are considering a new dwelling at your property and would like to discuss the input of a specialist, please speak to Lucinda Clifford on 01833 637000 in respect of Agricultural matters and Mike Reynolds on 01748 829 216 on Equestrian issues
