Form P1C
PLANNING APPLICATION FOR A DWELLING ON A FARM
Please note that when you submit a planning application the information, including
plans, maps and drawings, will appear on the Planning Register which is publicly
available and, along with other associated documentation (with the exception of
personal telephone numbers, email addresses or sensitive personal data), will also be
published on the Planning Portal through the Public Access Portal
(www.planningni.gov.uk).
In addition to the information provided on the P1 planning application form the
following information should be submitted when applying for planning permission for
a dwelling on a farm under Policy CTY 10 of Planning Policy Statement (PPS) 21:
Sustainable Development in the Countryside.
For the purposes of this policy, ‘active farming’ under CTY 10 of PPS 21 refers to the
production, rearing or growing of agricultural products including harvesting, milking,
breeding animals and keeping animals for farming purposes, or maintaining the land
in good agricultural and environmental condition. This is in line with EU and DARD
legislation.
It is important that you provide sufficient information with your application to
allow us to determine it as soon as possible
Applicants should note that there is no requirement under Policy CTY 10 to be a full
time farmer or to prove the economic viability of a farm.
What must be demonstrated in terms of the above definition is that the farm business
is currently active and has been established for at least 6 years.
An applicant may apply for a house on an active farm even though they are not the
owner of the land. However, they must provide the relevant details of the farm
business on this form which should be signed by the owner(s) of the business to
confirm the details are correct.
It must also be noted planning permission relates to the land and development cannot
be carried out without permission from the actual landowner.
