Planning permission req?
Discussion
We have 3 acres out the back and she needs a new shelter for the horses
I have been told by a neighbour when they put up a new shelter they didn't need any planning permission as it was classed as a moveable structure?
We are in a conservation area and the house is grade 2 listed. Any ideas or is it best to speak to the council man?
Cheers

Council Planners will always encourage you to apply for planning permission. Especially if they think it will have detrimental impact on the surrounding area, and in my experience that's their personal view of detrimental impact, rather than applying the regulations.
Much better to speak to an informed planning agent (ideally local) as he will know what the rulings are and what has been deemed to be acceptable in your area. If you want details of a good national one, then email me through my profile.
IME it is easier to ask for forgiveness than ask permission!!! If you just do it, is anyone likely to complain??
(I believe that if it is completely moveable, ie on Skids or wheels, then no PP will be required, but if it is sited permanently (or semi permanently) then PP will be required.)

if you get a Planner who's anal enough, though hopefully that's fairly unlikely
Not in my experience!!!!!! I still recommend talking to an independent planning agent before going anywhere near the local authority.Last Post is quite correct about horses being equestrian and not agriculture
