Field Entrance and Farm Roadway

    Hi,

    I have an existing road entrance to a field – the entrance has not been used for years and is fairly overgrown even though there is a old gate in the entrance. I now want to use this entrance and lay a farm roadway from the entrance alongside the field boundary to some other fields at the back of the roadside field.

    Two questions

    1/ do I need to get planning permission to widen the existing entrance that will allow modern machinery access the new farm roadway that I want to put down.
    2/ do I need to get planning permission to lay a farm roadway?

    Thanks
    Catskin

    No to both. As there is an entrance there already you dont need permission for the entrance. You only need permission for a new entrance to be opened. No need for the roadway either as far as i know. Never heard of anything about it anyway and i have put down a fair few roadways in the last few years for different farmers around.

    depends on the county. we had to get planning a number of years ago to widen our farm entrance but when we wanted to build another house the council were kicking off about the view from the entrance onto the road. when we showed them that we had planning for the entrance they couldn t make us change it.internal roads dont ned it
