how have you managed to get the muck stores on the grant?

i think i should have had a big pile in the yard when he came, his advise was the field near the farm 5 acre was a dry field and i could make 3 piles in that and rotate around them every 3 years so he wouldn't support a muck store?

we have been pushing trailers away from the muck pile this winter with a 360 as its so wet,

i think i need a good land agent? to make a stronger case to go back in a year or 2

That’s about sums it up some one from the city will judge what you need on your farm in minutes when you have lived worked on it for a life time. They do use tools like what’s the water samples / quality like in the streams rivers in your area and I expect your area is ok. Not really which agent you use.

got a good area of concrete under rp 15 so i cant complain and we are in the medium risk so thats why he supported that.

i think put some ruts about and a massive pile of muck in the yard and try again 2 years time.

yes we put muck in fields atm but its not ideal.

There seems to be a few people around who have made the mistake of having the CSF officer round in summer when everything is dry. A friend has a track that looks ok in summer, and the guy said no to surfacing it, apparently it's a different story in winter. Of course nobody has time to get people round in winter, or there's things that you'd rather nobody official could see then.

Went to a meeting and was told how much some agents were charging to fill forms in, i’d avoid it if you can.

I’m now well over a year into my planning application. I have the next deadline for my infrastructure grant on 28th of June and more details to planning, NE are still holding everything up. I think i will end up binning the whole project. So a system that will be better for the environment and my business won’t happen. I am at a loss for words as to how inept some people in NE are.
