Covered Cattle Yard

Objective:

To seek planning permission for a covered cattle yard for the purposes of livestock welfare. 

Proposal:

The client instructed us to prepare an application in compliance with permitted development rights for a new roof structure to cover the existing cattle yard. To provide an area for younger cattle and calves to give protection from the weather.

Local Planning Authority:

Maldon District Council

What the consultant Says


The client required immediate cover for livestock housing and fell over 400 metres from any third-party dwelling meaning that permitted development rights apply.
