Default Planning - Pond In Field ?

Hi

Another planing question....

Does anyone have any idea if I would be permitted to dig a small
wildlife pond, ~ 0 x 5 metres, in a field classified as agricultural
land ? The remainder of the field is to be planted as an orchard
(already approved by the LPA as part of a larger application).

Disappointingly, I don't have the answer, but I like the idea of making it

a
firefighting water reserve.

A friend of mine dug a pond of similar (10x5) size in his garden with a
mini-digger, he never applied for permission. And he was a solicitor.


My daughter and son-in-law have also dug a huge pond in their garden.
'Mainly' ornamental, but it does have an island for the birds/Moorhens/Ducks
etc to nest. No, planning permission was not sought.

Mike
