Agricultural Need Assessments
As rural surveyors based in the South West Townsend Chartered Surveyors have over twenty years of experience in preparing Agricultural or Business Need Assessments for our rural-based clients to demonstrate the need for new agricultural buildings or accommodation.
Our ANA service includes:
- Advice to support planning applications
- Advice to support permitted development right applications
- Rural business need assessments
- Diversification options
- Rural business advice
Most planning applications for new agricultural accommodation will require an Agricultural Need Assessment Report. We are also involved in preparing a number of Business Need Assessments for rural-based businesses to achieve change of use status for existing buildings, or extra accommodation to ensure the business needs can be met.
Recently we have carried out need assessments for
- new dairy unit for greenfield site
- agricultural dwellings on dairy farms
- new buildings on dairy farms
