To become a tillage farmer.

gr8 m8

Hello, just a quick question.

A friend of mine is a contractor, mainly plans and council work. He wants to build a machinery shed beside his house but can't because he can't get permission.

He wants to buy some land and asked me what he would need to register himself as a tillage farmer and as a result, would he be able to build his shed on the land he purchases.

Any information is appreciated.

I know a guy who build a 'stable' on a field he bought. I think stables are exempt going back to olden times. Could be wrong check it out. This was a fair size stable!

Local lad who started out with machinery contracting refused planning for shed at back of house ,got around it by getting a herd number and bought 2 calves so he put up a 80 x 40 shed and put circular feeder in the middle of it.I think they can not refuse you planning building a shed to house cattle for the winter!!!

80* 40 you’d be planning exempt for agriculture purposes.

Hello,

Thank you for the responses.
So he could build a shed of 80x40 for agricultural purposes, put 2 cattle in the corner and then fill the rest of the shed with all his gear and no questions asked?

Could he then put up a hay barn beside it, put in a couple of bales of straw and park all his machinery in there also?

I got around it 10years ago or more by welding plates on to the bottom of the pillars to make it look like it was bolted to the concrete so it looked like a move able structure even do it was buried in concrete

Sorry bumping this up has anyone a rough price on a 80x40 just the steel purlins and sheets want it for workshop/storage not a tillage farmer can get the 60%grant or am I better off going for no grant no real need for planning in my place
