Create an application
What do I include with my application?
It should normally include:
- a completed application form
- a completed certificate of ownership and agricultural holding certificate
- location plan, site plans and elevations

If the applicant does not own the site

The information that must be included in the requisite notice can be found in notice no. 1:
