HC Deb 25 November 1996 vol 286 c99W
Mr. Martyn Jones

To ask the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what plans he has to ensure that planning constraints on agricultural buildings are applied equally to a small and large farm holdings; and if he will make a statement. [4924]

Mr. Boswell

We have no plans to seek a change to the thresholds for agricultural permitted development rights in the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) Order 1995 under which holdings of less than five hectares have more limited rights than larger holdings.
