When is planning permission required for farms?

Information on planning permission for farms is available on the Gov.uk website1.

The National Planning Policy Framework2 sets out the Government's planning policies for rural areas.

In Wales, Technical Advice Note 6 - Planning for Sustainable Rural Communities3 provides equivalent information.
