Nearly all diversifications and many other farm business developments need planning approval from the local authority. There are forms to fill in, conditions to meet and hoops to be gone through. Yet the whole process need not be fraught with difficulty and expense; it requires a cool head, some groundwork and an understanding of the system. This new course will provide just that.

This one-day course will:

- Introduce the concepts underlying the current planning system
- Explain the prior notification system for many agricultural developments
- Identify local planning policy drivers and the aims and objectives of a Local Development Framework, and how to align an application with that Framework explain the drivers for diversification as a tool for developing a farm business show how to use of the Planning Portal in submitting a planning application.
- Explain when to use professional assistance with a planning application and to provide tools for selecting and evaluating such assistance.

To book a place, please contact Jane Strudwick: tel.: 01603 731 211 or e-mail: jstrudwick@easton.ac.uk with your name, the course name and the number of places you require.
