planning permission

I suppose quickest put up fencing people can't see through but I could see that would make it seem like I am hiding something and put new neighbours on edge perhaps. Like the idea of hedging but that takes a couple of years to grow doesn't it. A piece has come up which is ticking nearly all my...

Is planning 'grandfathered' in from the existing ruin or has to be applied for again? If the latter is planning likely to be granted due to the history? Seen one I like just within my budget with an old style stone shepherd's building. All four walls look fairly intact, no roof. It is very...

Need to upgrade the current old cesspit for the farm house as its not fit for purpose any longer House is 6 beds and used as a holiday home so frequently as 12 guests staying so the system has to be sufficient to cope with relatively heavy use. Current location, which is the obvious location...

Following the consultation last autumn we feared that the changes to agricultural permitted development would be swept under the carpet until after the election. However, in a surprise move it was announced last night that as of 21st May 2024 the following changes will come into force - please...

I have a problem with a neighbour who has permission to park his vans adjoining my land. He parks too close and has knocked a short section (2 or 3 bays) of my post and rail fence out of alignment and he has tow bars on the back of a couple of the vans which get caught in the stock fencing. I...

66k members. Safe to assume that many hundreds will be lesbian/gay. We know, for sure, that Muslims are members. Important posts made about keeping abattoirs going. Yet there is a constant dribble of homophobic and racist posts. Often presented as humour, or thinly disguised as political...

From reading around on this forum I came to be aware you are not even allowed to lay a track on your own land without planning permission and besides it would probably be costly - not a farmer just want access with a normal van through a field used for 'recreation'. Would the plastic mesh stuff...

Hi, Has anyone got any experience around if you need planning permission for a 20ft shipping container on arable land for own use like animal feed and chainsaw etc ? Tried asking local council and didn’t say yes or no just said apply for planning which means paying to do so but dont want to pay...

I want to make a no more than 50 metre gravel track into a clay field for car access only. I can dig a hole and get the gravel from an adjacent field. I thought as gravel will be sourced on farm then no p permission needed. We have always jfdi in the past.

Wanting a small parcel 1-3 acres for "amenity" purposes as the agents seem to like to call it. Once I find one I want to go ahead with buying what is the process? Many of them say things like private treaty but most say they are auctions. I don't understand what private treaty is. I have read...

This forum popped up several times as I have been doing research on planning permission and you lads and lasses seem to know the ins and outs of these matters. If I buy a plot of land somewhere looking for as far away from neighbours what could happen? I am self sufficient in my van for all...

Just wondering how many of my fellow teuchters know about this? Wood is our only source of heat and hot water. Any renovations would include same. Plus oil. A heat pump wouldn't keep the bathroom warm, much less the whole house. I used to live near Memphis; they tried them there and it didn't...

Hi, wondered if anyone had any success stories or advice. Have a static caravan on arable land, council wouldn’t give planning permission but said we could use for seasonal staff which we do mainly lambing and harvest but have to keep moving it on and off ( pain in the backside ) . I have read...
