Agricultural or Forestry Development – proposed road

Summary

AI generated summary
An application form for England to ask a Local Planning Authority whether prior approval is needed to form, alter, or maintain a private road/track for agricultural or forestry use under permitted development rules. It collects applicant and agent details and the site address or grid reference. It asks for proposed road information, including whether it is new or an alteration, its length and width, surface materials and colour, and land area affected. It also asks about the size and agricultural use of the holding, how long the land has been used for trade or business, whether the works are necessary and designed for agriculture, and whether there are impacts on dwellings, nearby classified roads, aerodromes, heritage assets, or protected nature sites. A checklist sets out submission requirements (copies, plans, and fee), followed by a declaration, contact details, and site-visit access information.
