Non-permanent structures and tiny houses.

[HGough]

Hopefully in the near future, when we are all allowed to move around again I would like to rent a small piece of land or rural "parking space". It would be for a tiny house or non-permanent structure to become my permanent dwelling. I understand that planning permission is required but aside from that (generally speaking) is this one-way farmers/landowners would be looking/willing to diversify? If so, can anyone recommend ways of finding this land?

A non permanent structure to become a permanent dwelling , I think I see an issue there .

I think it would be a more attractive diversification for a farmer to sell the plot for 150 K plus rather than rent it to someone if planning permission was achievable needle and haystack springs to mind

We have kept roof it’s jet washed and to be painted next week weather permitting it will be a 6 monthly job checking for any cracks

Who the fudge wants to keep a cement board roof on a dwelling? Muppet planners.

Nothing wrong with fibre cement roof, I built my first house in 1991 with pre Eternit coloured sheets still looks good and is solid.I did put breathable felt under it mind Found a crack a couple of years ago where a glazier had gone where he as told not to.... Used some roof repair gloop that painted on, with reinfocement fibres in it. Good stuff I have used on barn roofs before.

However, if I was forced to retain an ageing one, first thing I would do is put a rubberised coating on it to stop seepage from the inevitable cracking that will have occurred!

Planning permission will be very difficult for a tiny house, or non-permanent structure if it is to become a dwelling in the countryside unless it complies with Paragraph 79 of the National Planning Policy Framework which outlines the criteria for dwellings to be built outside of defined settlement boundaries.
