The meeting went well its a mixed use site / shed,some firewood production for personal use some for commercial all coming from Arb operations they decided that no rates were payable rightly or wrongly but I'm not going to argue!!

I am an arb contractor producing around 250-300m3 per year,some for personal and family use and some for retail sales,firewood only makes up 2% of my annual turnover and is all 'salvage' from arb contracting jobs and not bought in to resale.

The building is a slatted timber sided pole barn and no services are on site so it's only used for splitting ,drying and storage.
