Deano's new yard work in progress

[Mesterh]

4 years.

 

Really, has it changed then?

 

I always thought it was 10 too.

 

4 does sound good though.

 

I,d try and ask someone in the know if they think planning permission would be granted before asking the planners or say nothing.

Always been 4 years, as far as I know.

 

There was a guy who built a house behind a pile of bails, he waited 4 years and then removed the bails. He only lost his case because it has to be visible for the 4 years.

 

I could be wrong.

 

In any case "retrospective planing consent" should be no harder or expensive, than getting consent before hand. The risk is you don't get it and have to reinstate back to the previous condition.

 

Building without consent is not an offense and if no one complains you have no problem, IMO.

Having done a little digging on the net it would seem there are two rules, a 4 year rule and a 10 year rule.

 

10 year for change of use and 4 year for dwellings.

 

This is a woodland Dean, you are an urban forester, not sure there is a change of use mate

 

I had the council trying to stop me using a field years ago, I treated them with the contempt they deserve and they went away

[Simon Rotheram]

I dont think it's been used for anything in the past Simon and is classed as woodland same as my previous yard which is over the other side of the track I took the photo from BTW. It is the same woodland essentailly, so you could say I've already been there for 7 years.

 

I tried the same, they turned up with google earth maps for the last 10 years!

 

Its definatly 10 years as I've just been through it, it maybe 4 for another type of agrcultural consent.

[Johny Walker]

to get a certifacate of lawfull use ,you must be able prove the land has been used for that persific trade ,ie tree work forstry for @ least 10yrs

I need to get the barn extended, land leveled and stoned and logs moved onto my designated `log venture` patch before the mud sets in.

 

Looks a good spot there Dave, the mud bit is quite a problem for me too, but there is shaley rock just under the surface so when I level it with a 360 I'm going to drag the top over the lower slope so it should be stoned ready then, good luck with yours though mate

 

Simon. I'm not really building anything, the barn is classed as a temp structure and the fencing is stock fencing and palisade which is under 1.8m which is outside planning.

 

I'll fence in the perimeter, level the site then put up the barn and give them a call then so they can see the extent of the yard. The only issue I reckon would be containers.

 

The nearest dwellings are 200m with woodland inbetween.

 

Mike: Thanks for the offer mate

[Simon Rotheram]

Change of surface?

[Dean Lofthouse]

Change of surface?

 

Its been covered in hardcore which has been tracked in Simon some time ago before I owned it and has never been grassed, just over grown??

[MattyF]

looks good dean you just need to get planning permission to build a nice house in that clearing in the wood!! that would be the perfect set up!!
