Temporary Structures For Spring Agricultural Expansion
Spring is a busy time of the year for the farming community. From looking after livestock to tending to crops, there is always work to be done on agricultural land at this time of year.
However, not having adequate space to carry out the necessary tasks can impact the output of the business and ultimately, its overall profitability. This could be due to a lack of physical space, or simply not having the optimum conditions to protect stock or equipment.
Lauralu is a leading installer of temporary building structures across the UK and Ireland.
Discover how our temporary buildings can create the necessary facilities for agricultural businesses to thrive.
Why Spring Requires Expansion Solutions For Farms
While farms can be productive all year round, spring often brings a particular set of challenges.
Spring is the peak season for calving and lambing and farms often require suitable accommodation not just for the livestock, but also personnel to tend to the livestock. Additional storage can also be required to house animal feed.
Some farms can also lack adequate protection for machinery, crops, seeds, fertilisers and other necessities. In most cases, having a weather-resistant structure is a key requirement.
Regardless of the building-related challenges faced by your agricultural business, spring is the ideal time to address the lack of facilities to prepare for the year ahead.

Temporary Farm Buildings FAQs
Do you have a question about getting a temporary building installed on your agricultural land? We’ve answered some of the top queries below.
If you need any further help, please contact the Lauralu team so that we can offer you tailored advice.
What can I build on agricultural land without planning permission?
Planning permission works slightly differently for agricultural land, with many structures covered under a scheme known as permitted development rights (PDR). In short, any structure listed under PDR implies that planning permission is not required.
Class A of PDR applies to a number of agricultural buildings, including storage, livestock housing, workers’ dwellings and the creation of surfaces to improve access to fields and pathways.
However, there are various rules that apply even for PDR-approved structures. Therefore, we would recommend seeking our professional advice to find out if you can build your intended structure on agricultural land.
Can you put temporary accommodation on agricultural land?
Yes. Accommodation for agricultural workers is covered under Class A of the permitted development rights.
Can I build a temporary structure on my land?
Yes. At Lauralu, we build temporary structures such as warehouses, storage or office spaces on behalf of businesses across the UK and Ireland.
When you work with us, we can advise you further about the types of structures that can be built on your land.
What are some usage examples of temporary warehouse agriculture buildings?
On agricultural land, it’s possible to use a temporary warehouse to store the likes of animal feed, produce or machinery. Since we can create anything from a temporary roof to a temporary insulated building, we can ensure the building and overall features align with your exact usage needs.
What is the 10 year rule for agricultural land?
The 10 year rule relates to a UK planning law. It refers to a principle whereby if a building has existed for more than 10 years without any legal action being taken, the building may become lawful.
On agricultural land specifically, if the building structure has been in place for 10 years without objection, it may be possible to obtain a certificate of lawfulness.
Navigating the rules when wanting to construct a temporary farm building can be challenging, not to mention time consuming. However, rest assured that the agricultural temporary building experts here at Lauralu are here to help you through the process.
