What this check answers
Exclusion from agricultural production is a separate decision from planning designation. It depends on soil class, soil origin and the area actually used.
What to verify
- Confirm the planning basis (local plan or zoning decision).
- Check soil classes and soil origin for the planned footprint.
- Ask the county office whether a decision and charges apply to the exact area.
