After some general advice and guidance on the redevelopment of a farm yard, Just throwing some ideas around to gain others opinions. The farm yard is now surrounded by houses and an urban area now. So thoughts have turned to the potential of the land, I know some would suggest housing, but given the surrounding area we would like to explore the options of commercial opportunity's.
So without exact measurements I would estimate it to be around the 2.5 acre give or take a small margin.
Our thoughts would be to have a mixed area of shops/business office unit space, café, and small games/play park for children.
Planning permission shouldn't be an issue. But my questions are about how to go about designing and getting the ideas off the ground ? what first steps do we need to think about, business plan/advertising/research/approaching developers etc......
Also a question around financing, self funding is a possibility, but is there any advantages of getting a company to build and fund, then just receive rental income ?
TIA
