Agricultural Statements for Planning
Supporting statements and appraisals for agricultural buildings, rural worker dwellings, agricultural need, farm operations and rural development proposals.
Specialist evidence for planningRural Evidence.
Rural Evidence.
Built for the case.
Agricultural, forestry, equestrian, orchard, horticultural and environmental evidence prepared to support planning applications, appeals, certificates and rural development proposals.
A supporting role, clearly positioned
These documents support planning cases where practical land-use and operational evidence is required. They are not presented as a separate general consultancy offer, and they do not replace the planning strategy.
Equestrian Statements for Planning
Operational and land-management evidence for stables, arenas, maneges, horse walkers, grazing land and mixed agricultural and equestrian uses.
Forestry Statements for Planning
Supporting evidence for forestry buildings, woodland management and forestry-related rural land-use proposals.
Orchard & Horticultural Evidence
Agricultural and environmental evidence relating to orchard, horticultural, growing and associated land-use proposals where relevant to planning.
Connected to a planning purpose
Evidence must answer the issue in front of the decision-maker.
A supporting statement is scoped around the proposal, relevant planning questions and evidence available. It may explain agricultural need, operational requirements, land management, forestry activity, equestrian use, orchard or horticultural operations, or the relationship between the proposal and a rural enterprise.
Prism Ag Rural Planning can prepare the planning application itself or provide a defined supporting document where another professional organisation holds the lead instruction. The respective roles are confirmed before work begins.
