Proposal

Designed details: The building a purpose-built agricultural building Necessary details: Existing on-site storage facilities are limited in both capacity and functionality. Whilst they provide some short-term storage, they are insufficient to meet the business's longer-term crop storage requirements. The proposed building will therefore enhance the operational efficiency of the holding by increasing storage capacity and providing greater flexibility in the marketing and management of harvested crops. In addition, the building will provide improved storage conditions and a safer internal working environment for the operation and maintenance of agricultural machinery. The proposed development has been designed to utilise the existing structural frame from the building located off Kartharine Way , together with new external cladding and modern construction materials. Building description: A purpose-built framed general purpose agricultural building, with five 15 feet sectioned bays and a roller shutter door on the norther elevation Data via plota.co.uk

Great Crested Newt Risk ZonesInternal Drainage BoardsEA Flood Zone 3CIL Charge Zones
Flood zone 3, rivers and sea
High chance: a 1 in 100 or greater annual chance from rivers, or 1 in 200 from the sea. Any development here needs a flood risk assessment. Defences are not counted.
The Environment Agency flood map for planning. Homes in zone 3 must also pass the sequential test. Surface water flooding is a separate map.
Flood map ↗
Agricultural land, grade 3b
Not best and most versatile land (grades 1, 2 and 3a). Source: the Predictive Agricultural Land Classification Map (Defra and Natural England, 2025; the Welsh Government's Predictive ALC Map 2 in Wales), a model rather than a site survey. Natural England's Provisional ALC map (1:250,000, 1970s) agrees.
Where development of farmland is needed, policy prefers poorer land over the best and most versatile (grades 1, 2 and 3a). Three sources: Natural England's post-1988 field surveys, which are definitive where they exist; the Defra predictive map for England (2025) and the Welsh Government predictive map, modelled from the soil map with 3a and 3b split; and the 1970s provisional map, which planners and other services still show, coarser and with grade 3 undivided. Where the provisional and predicted grades disagree, treat the predicted grade as the current estimate and expect an application to carry its own survey.
Habitat network: Network Expansion Zone
Where habitat is joined up enough to work as a network. Context, not a constraint on its own.
3 listed buildings within 150 m
Nearest: Nunton House, Grade II, 46 m away · 3 Grade II
The site itself is not listed. Listed building consent is needed for work that affects the special interest of a listed building, inside or out, on top of planning permission. Setting can be a consideration for buildings nearby; there is no fixed radius.
