A FREE planning advice service for farmers and agricultural businesses in North Yorkshire has been given the go-ahead to continue until the end of June, but farmers are being urged to use it quickly.

Yorkshire Planning Aid is part of the Royal Town Planning Institute and has been helping farmers with diversification and other planning matters since 2002, through its North Yorkshire Agricultural Planning Support Service.

The project is due to end on June 30, but farmers need to contact the service by the end of May.
