BNE50 Agricultural Occupancy

Occupancy conditions for agricultural workers’ dwellings in the countryside will only be removed when it is proved that the dwelling is no longer needed, now and for the foreseeable future, for someone solely, mainly or last working in agriculture on the holding and in the dwelling’s general locality.

Where such conditions are removed, permission will not be granted for new agricultural or forestry workers’ dwellings on the holding or on any new holding created by its sub-division.
