You could also call this:

Illustration for Local Government Act 1974

The law used to let you undertake farming operations, but this part of the law is no longer valid. It was stopped from being used on 1 July 2003 by section 266 of the Local Government Act 2002. You can find more information about this change by looking at the Local Government Act 2002.
