Farming query - toilets

    Hey, new to this.

    So I've recently acquired land, I'm looking to put an office or shead so when we are up on the land organising it for the future animals, crop etc that we have somewhere to shelter from the weather, eat and go the bathroom. Covid made it difficult to be able to use public facilities, understandably.


    Does anyone know where I would even start seeking help?


    Our local councils have not responded to emails, and I'm yet to hear back from IFA.


    Any advice greatly appreciated.

    Once certain conditions are met, agricultural buildings are exempt from planning.

    You may get more help in the farming forum.

    I doubt a building such as this would be exempt, as the toilets will require foul drainage, wastewater treatment, water supply etc.

    I would advise engaging an architect, engineer or building surveyor who do planning permissions and at least sound them out on what you're looking for, your budget, site location etc. They could send in a pre-planning submission to the council who would then advise of the viability, what you need to carry out/include which will help a planning submission etc.

    No, only buildings used for the housing of animals, machinery, crops/grain etc are exempt from planning. An office type building as described will need planning as will the associated sewage treatment system. As Penn suggested employ a local professional.
