Change of use
New Member Posts: 19 Join Date: 10/09/13 Recent PostsWe have an application where a golf course is changing to agricultural use. The planning application description is 'Change of use of land from a golf course to agricultural and levelling of two bunds'. The applicant is now saying that the golf course has become grass land and any works carried out would fall under permitted development. Our interpretation is that whilst the change of use would be permitted development, this has not yet taken place and therefore the works do need planning permission. The works, significant earth movement, are currently going on and enforcement action is underway alongside the application.
Does anyone have experience of any similar cases?
Many thanks

A quick google led me to the planner man, with what looks like some useful and relevant thougths on changes to agricultural use:

Although the engineering works might be a different matter.
