E13C Prevention of Dereliction of New Glasshouse Sites

When granting planning permission for new, replacement, or extensions to, glasshouses or other buildings including packhouses, and any ancillary activities or uses, the Council will require that these sites are fully returned to a condition appropriate for their previous use when or if the land is no longer used for glasshouse horticulture. Under-used or derelict glasshouses and other buildings including packhouses will not be considered suitable sites for the introduction of non-agricultural uses, at least until a future review of the plan.
