    If I have built a large storage shed, with planning permission for that, I then allowed to keep livestock eg horses and chickens in it? Even as a temporaty winter measure?

    Or to use as a lambing shed?

    Or are there limitations on the use?

    Any advice valued ; thank you

    I'm not sure that this is a farming related question- it seems to be more to do with possible legalities and/or animal welfare issues.

    Accordingly I am moving your thread to the animal welfare forum.

    As far as I know you do not need planning for livestock sheds but they do need to be a minimum of 100metres away from any neighbours property...........check you local authority planning website

    Thank you; that is interesting.

    We have an excellent online planning map etc here in Donegal; cannot find that shed on it, but the list only goes back to 2001.

    We will call the council and check that. Where we lived before a man was doing a lot of very noisy and disruptive work opposite that we had checked to learn he had no planning permission for any of it; they listed over 20 separate breaches of planning on that site.

    Interesting thing was that the hard core he was using came from a council site.
