Dear Dennis

Please find enclosed a copy of worksheet and information used for agricultural dwellings. You will firstly be expected to show the need for a house based on the number of labour hours associated with each enterprise in the business. As discussed on the phone, you have significantly higher hours justified than dwellings associated with the farm.

You will also need to show a functional requirement for having a dwelling on the farm itself. The need for assistance at calving, relief milking etc, combined with animal welfare considerations where livestock are maintained should make a strong case for having a dwelling on the farm itself.

Based on the approximate figures discussed over the phone, the standard labour requirement for your business can be calculated, see below:

Sub Total 1740

Sub Total 5,445

[Table omitted in markdown export]
Total standard hours = 7185
Full time equivalent = 1900 hours
Balladoole Labour Requirement = 7185/1900

= 3.78 Labour Units

Therefore you have justification for at least 3 full time workers, based on information supplied, yet only one dwelling currently available to the business.

If you have any further queries, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Yours sincerely

Andrew Macdonald
SAC Agricultural Adviser.

Encl.
