Alternative site siting justification

Where an alternative site removed from existing farm buildings is proposed, the applicant must submit evidence from a competent authority such as HSE or Environmental Health to justify the siting.

Where an alternative site is proposed under criteria (c) which is removed from existing buildings on the farm, the applicant will be required to submit appropriate and demonstrable evidence from a competent and independent authority such as the Health and Safety Executive or Environmental Health Department of the local Council to justify the siting. Evidence relating to the future expansion of the farm business may include valid planning permissions, building control approvals or contractual obligations to supply farm produce.
