hi guys looks like i wasnt so lucky as i never heard anything i emailed the planning officer today and recieved this reply:
Thank you for your email.
Agricultural permitted development rights only apply if the land is being actively farmed at the time the application was submitted and that the applicant is employed full time in agriculture as part of a trade or business. As it was not a valid application the 28 day period does not apply.
The LPA has received information from the Parish Council and neighbours indicated that the conditions required to be satisfied in order for permitted development rights to apply have not been satisfied. On that basis, it is not a valid application and permitted development rights do not apply.
This would not, however stop you from applying for full planning permission.
If you require further clarification, please let me know.
Best regards,
