    do you need planning permission to relocate a large volume of soil from one location to another?
    as in about 100 truck loads!

    You need Planning Permission for any alteration of ground level +/- 1000mm.
    Would you be within this allowance?

    There could well be more agencies (other than the planning/coco) interested in this.

    Is soil considered a building waste product, if so the haulier will need a license to move it.

    I’m doing a planning application for something similar now. An EIA was asked for but other than that a fairly standard application

    Plus a permit for where it's being located to.
