To encourage development in rural areas Warwick District Council could provide tailored guidance on appropriate types of farm diversification so farmers get the best chance of submitting a successful planning application. They should also consider permitting the development of small and larger agricultural buildings subject to 'prior notification procedure' rather than the full planning control, and make greater use of the discretionary element of rural rate relief for rural businesses.
