[QUOTE="Pasty, post: 1633226, member: 1651"] Anyone done this on here? I've got a 7 acre field about a mile away from the main farm. It's a stunning location with a striking geographical feature from which you get amazing panoramic views of South Devon. I'm looking to make a go of the farm full time so was considering taking a 4 acre square out of the field and selling it to fund other enterprises / livestock. The field is in some ways a bit of a pain as keeping it either means renting to the neighbour for little money or take stock back and forth (not the end of the world I know). The 3 acres left include the feature and also a lovely little rocky area with ancient oaks growing as well as some scrub. The plan would be to clear the scrub and plant the whole 3 acres as hardwood coppice with standards. Oak, Sweet Chestnut, Hazel, Ash etc. This will hopefully provide me and my followers with a good source of easy to harvest wood for fuel / posts / building etc. in 20 years or so if I'm still knocking about. What we were also looking at was a shepherd's hut (or 2) in the new wood. It's a secluded location, not in view of any homes. Off the road but with an existing track. I think it would go well with folk who wanted a complete cut off and seclusion, rather than the mainstream glamping lot. There is mains water on site and we were thinking compost loo and maybe solar shower etc. Has anyone put in for PP for this and got it / failed. If so what were the concerns / objections? I know local plans vary so may need to have a look at ours. [/QUOTE]
