    Hi everyone, do you need planning permission to construct a new entrance for agricultural land on a local road. It will be just a hanging gate and plenty of visibility both sides (excess of 80m both ways)?

    If so under what category

    So if the road to my field is less than 4m wide, I can pop a new entrance onto my site?
