Greenhouse Glasshouse

[Tropical]

Hi
If i have 5 acres of land and I need a glasshouse/greenhouse of half and acre on it, I would need permission, from what i have understood about planning and permitted planning. The question is how difficult are planning to deal with. The greenhouse would be for plants & some veg, More plants though. Would allow me to grow all year round.

Thanks

If these would be plants of a herbal variety then maybe best not to do it where people could see into it

But in all seriousness get yourself some decent plans drawn up and go from there really.

LOL, no really just general stuff, nothing to hot.
Am i gonna have to get a consultant on this? Are the planners difficult? should I just attempt this myself. It comes under agriculture? right?

Would polytunnels be an option?
As far as I know they don't need planning permission in most places, much to the annoyance of some local authorities!

I had a look at poly tunnels, but I would rather go down the solid greenhouse/glasshouse. But considering the worst case scenario how big of a poly tunnel can i put on the land? 50sqmX50sqm? LOL am I pushing it?

You will need full planning for a big glasshouse and a shedload of money. Have you priced the cost of actually building it?
Mate of mine built one, borrowed a million to do it and that was 20 years ago.

What if i had 10 large rhino green houses stuck together they are 12feetx20feet so 10 would be a good start, but i guess the big question is i will need planing right?
there 4000 grand each. mean about 40,000 plus installation.

Breathtaking on a good day for all the right reason.

Breathtaking on a bad day because it's so windy you are literally struggling to stand upright

If a structure is moveable so no foundations then you don't need planning permisoon. Could they be built on a sled of some sort?

No they would have to be solid. In a greenhouse I could grow plants all year round. protected from the weather.
I suppose i could build one with wheels do i have to show it moves, concrete wheels lol. just kidding

I think you would be far far far easier with a big poly tunnel

But could i get away with poly tunnels even if they were say 50meterx50 meters. will planning not be up in arms?

Don't think you need planning permission for tunnels
