Permitted development.

[Stormy times]

Looking at buying a block of land privately it’s 14 acre of a friend.
wanting to apply to put a shed up what’s the pros and cons etc with permitted development permission never done it before so warey. It has good Acces of the road and house boarder to edges of the field in a L shape. I know the villagers can be a little awkward. Also adjoining1 row of the houses is a fenced paddock which is included in the land would make a great plot for a house as would just be continuation and it’s not breaking into open country side as it’s is hedged all way round also. Just do t want to misfire as it’s a bit more than average land price and need the shed.
many help appreciated.
many thanks.

you only get pd as far as im aware on blocks of land over 8 hectares, basically so non farmers dont buy land and build sheds for none agricultural purposes.

You i believe would need proper planning permission.

I thought was 12 acre. It’s minefield

Unless it is Travellers who have bought the land...

It could be double check, that's what i recall from last time i applied.

5 hectares which is 12.35 acres.
Permitted development allows you to put up 1000 square metres of building but that does have to include any hard standing too.

Is that 1000sq metres just the foot print ? Including the hardstanding and does that have to include the driveway too

Yes

There are some conditions that need to be met for position and site before you pay the money that I would check. We get caught out by a small grass air strip which changes the fees for approx £90 to full planning at £1800

Also if you do Pd it has to be used for ag for the next 10 yrs

You need to be familiar with Schedule 2, Part 6 of the GPDO to be fully appraised of the facts for Permitted Development.
14ac is enough to qualify but the building must be 'necessary for the agricultural use of the holding' so you would only be able to get a modest building on the 14ac unless it is part of a larger holding.

Well, it happened next door to me. The owner of 6 acres merely lied that he owned a neighbouring 25 acres, got permission, and built his 12m x 25m shed. He is by trade a builder. I've been shouting about it ever since. All they did was 'legalise it' by giving him planning permission -- and further PP since to extend the shed! There is, of course, no farming. I've been shouting about it ever since. But, hey!, this is the Highlands!

Said builder probably knows someone in the Planning Office....
