E4 Farm Diversification: Alternative use of Farmland

Alternative uses for agricultural land will be permitted if all the following criteria are met:

  • The development includes proposals for landscape and nature conservation enhancement;
  • The development would not result in a significant increase in noise levels or other adverse impacts beyond the holding;
  • The continued viability and function of the agricultural holding would not be harmed;
  • The development would not place unacceptable pressures on the surrounding rural road network (in terms of traffic levels, road safety countryside character and amenity).
