Proposal and Consultation: Government page - Permitted development rights

Article - "Plan to allow barn conversions without planning permission ‘would destroy England’s national parks’" from The Guardian, 7 August 2023

Winster Parish Council has issued a statement.

Our MP Sarah Dines replied to my enquiry as to her views - see here.
