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...

I'd like to get a real world value for my smallholding as I don't believe the several auctioneers we've asked over the years are anywhere close to the truth. Here are the details: •Seven acres of VERY heavy clay, meaning the field is unusable for six months of the year •Rusty old three-bay...
