Try reading the actual regs, no reply within 28 days = you can go ahead.

 

That's useful. Can you cite that for us please

I'm not expert on forestry type applications but with agricultural there are certain criteria which you must follow such as the size of the building, distance from roads, size of the holding (min 12 acres I think) and other stuff. You also need to apply on the correct form with details of the build, basically asking whether prior approval is needed. If they don't respond you go ahead.

 

It sounds like you have put in a full planning application which I don't believe has anything to do with PD rights. You need to find a local planning consultant.

Forestry unlike agriculture has no minimum acreage for PD rights.

 

It does say that the development must be suitably sized for the acreage it will service. So no 200m2 barns on 5 acres.

 

When looking up PD rights it important to read the actual Act, as councils tend to interpret them in a way to benefit themselves. IE the act says that you just need to inform the council of the proposed development & after 28 days you can proceed if they have not said no, yet most councils have made the decision that you need to apply for a determination (not the same thing) which you do have to wait for a yes or no for. Also worth remembering that England, Wales & Scotland all do things slightly differently.

 

Get a good advisor that knows about Forestry PD rights.
