What can i do on my land?

[Hodge]

I own 2.5 acres of land on which i store all my timber and firewood. there is a small woodland and the rest is grass and gorse. what are the rules concerning this operation and what you can do on agricultural land?. next to the land is a barn complex which i own, at one time it was a farm and my grandad owned the farm house also. we sold off the house but kept the land and barns, as far as we are aware it has all ways been for agricultural use. can anybody please help??

try speaking to a land agent ,they will explain what you can & carnt do ,what planning does it have @ the mo

You only have minimal permitted development rights on that small bit of agricultural land but the forestry gets full PD rights.

 

Would be simpler if you say what you want to do & then look at ways of doing it.

i just want to use it to store my wood and process it. long term we plan to try and develop barn into a small holiday let and house for me to live in, maybe put some type of building in the field. i didnt want to be told i shouldnt be storing/ processing wood on the land. i dont want to apply for planning and then be told you cant do that on there. i know every case is different but i just wondered what anybody knew on the subject.

Go to your local council offices and find out what you can and cannot do, every council has different rules and regs. It may be an idea not to mention exactly where your land is, especially if you are burning brushwood etc. If your happy with what they say you can do it is very important to get this in writing.

Buy some pigs off me and then you can claim its still agricultural as your still farming it, actually I seem to remember if you put a few hens on that counts as well
