Be warned - you will also need planning permission. The law is such
that neither of you is required to apply for it until the Planning
Authority requires you to, which usually happens when some neighbour
complains. But, until you have done that, the land is supposed to
be used only for agricultural purposes.

I am no way an authority in this field (pelease excuce the pun) but if the
famer changed the use of his field then perhaps planning permission would be
required, but if the purchaser bought part of the field for the purpose of
"training" or exercising dogs, then this would be an original use by the new
owner and not a change of use by the farmer.

Insteresting point..

Excellent info thanks Nick.
Where can i confirm that planning permission wouldnt be required until the planners require it?
