🏡 Planning Permission Success in Great Gidding!

We’re pleased to share that our Planning and Development Team has recently secured planning permission from Huntingdonshire District Council to remove the agricultural occupancy restriction from a property in Great Gidding.

This is a great result for our team and the property owner! 🎉

Agricultural occupancy conditions can sometimes present challenges for property owners. If you have any queries about these restrictions or would like advice on your own property, our Planning and Development Team would be happy to help.

📩 Get in touch with the Planning and Development Team at Bletsoes to discuss how we can assist with your planning needs.

Farmers – have your say on SFI

The House of Commons EFRA Committee is asking farmers to share their experiences of applying for the Sustainable Farming Incentive (SFI), following the recent difficulties many experienced.

Whilst we submitted all applications we had been asked to submit, we appreciate that some farmers have been disappointed by the outcome and the availability of funding.

If you were affected, this is an opportunity to make your experience heard and help the Committee hold Defra to account.

👉 Have you had problems applying for SFI? Take part in the survey here:
https://committees.parliament.uk/committee/52/environment-food-and-rural-affairs-committee/news/218025/farmers-experiences-of-sustainable-farming-incentive-sought-in-efra-committee-survey/
