Yes, I certainly would. I'm not aware of it, and if Darren Millar wants to write to me with specific details, I'm very happy to look into that. I don't know the specifics, so I can't really comment, but in general permitted development rights are only available where there is already a residential or other structure that carries the permitted development rights with it. They wouldn't normally be available in open woodland where there was not already a structure. So, although I can't comment specifically, because unless you know the specific detail you can't, in general the advice would be that you don't have permitted development rights unless it's attached to a dwelling or other premises that carries those rights with it. So, it seems unlikely on the face of it that that would be permitted development.
