What are the planning restrictions for my woodfuel business?
Using agricultural buildings for log and wood fuel is a bit of a grey area, however you should try the argument that the building you want falls under the definition of agriculture on the following basis: The definition of agriculture (s336 Town & Country Planning Act 1990) is as follows: “Agriculture includes horticulture, fruit growing, seed growing, dairy farming, the breeding and keeping of livestock (including any creature kept for the production of food, wool, skins and fur, or for the purpose of its use in the farming of land), the use of land as grazing land, meadow land, osier land, market gardens and nursery grounds, and the use of land for woodlands where that use is ancillary to the farming of land for other agricultural purposes, and “agricultural”.
