The Rural Planning Facilitation Service - for Advice about Planning - December 2007

The Rural Planning Facilitation Service aims to work with people to develop proposals which are financially viable, environmentally sound and acceptable in planning terms.

This is a service rather than a grant and is available to assist farm diversification and rural development.

You will be allocated a Rural Planning Advisor and they will provide the following services:-

  • Contact you and arrange a meeting on site to discuss your proposal
  • Liaise with your farm/business advisor, where appropriate
  • Consult with the Local Planning Authority and other agencies
  • Prepare a full Planning Assessment report with recommendations about how to take your ideas and development forward.
