We have recently purchased a couple of acres of land that has not been used for about 20 years, and, as such, has been heavily fly-tipped and had become seriously overgrown. The Council and Environment Agency wanted it cleared. After alot of hard work and some expense, it is now back to brown and level. A roofless block building (about the size of a small bungalow) is still present, as are several good size (but dilapidated) sheds. Prior to it's di-use, five stone cottages stood on the land which were inhabited until the '60s. I have conveyance documents to support this. However, the site is in 'open countryside' and after a brief initial chat with the planning authority, I have been left in no doubt that they would decline any application for residential development. I have been told by a consultant to apply anyway and then fight an appeal.
Does anyone have any suggestions as to how best achieve the goal of building a home in such a place? |
If the only planning objection is 'open countryside' and its not in a greenbelt, or an area of outstanding natural beauty or a conservation area or some other designation then its worth a punt.
first piece of advice, personality goes a long way, especially in a case like this where some descretion is needed on the LPA's part.
you have a good starting point because of the previous use.
please dont get confrontational with the planners (even if they are rude, difficult, ignorant etc) If you get them on your side they might be able to suggest how to design your development (house and gardens) in a way they would accept?
If you are planning a sustainable house, with a reduced carbon footprint that will all help your case.
Maybe you will have to design your house to reflect the historic uses on the site? reusing the walls you have would be a start.
your planning application has to pass the same planning regulations as anything else.
as people have said before you need to look at your ADOPTED local plan (or local development documents) that will set out what rules the planners have to follow.
dont flame me for this, but improving the rural economy might be one thing you could mention as well?
