If you had a some of livestock on there grazing (couple of sheep??) And your barn was a "livestock shelter". You might be okay?

 

 

Btw I don't have any experience on this, just what someone told me once.

It is a complicated subject but farmers are allowed to erect a barn under certain circumstances.

 

It is called permitted development:

 

Farm buildings: Know your Permitted Development Rights - 3/15/2008 - Farmers Weekly

 

Trouble is you need 12 acres or more and the building has to be for farming so timber storage is out.

 

There are also similar rights for forestry buildings:

 

Wodland Planning System

 

But even if you planted up the 1.5 acres with trees you are going to struggle to make the case for a barn.

 

So if you wanted to build a barn to store timber you are going to have to apply for full planning which the council are very unlikely to grant.

 

Hope this helps!

well thats that idea forgot about as i did a little research and it came back similar-

 

tbh thou its about 0.5miles away in an area which has no real value yet 50m away from my house in total open countyside and peacefullness , they 'plan' to build a massive housing association estate there, thanks , since time begain there been nout there appart from fileds and a old railway line / coast to coast route - been plenty brown envelopes being moved around there - one rule for them , one for us

apply for a barn for a livestock shelter then once up apply for change of use to a timber store or apply for change of use to residential dewelling! which is more the route i would take!!!!!

You might be able to justify an equestrian shelter. Then get a big plastic horse or a pantomime horse suit.

Speak to the local planning officer for the area, they are public servants and are there to help, but think carefully don't give to much away, just say your thinking of buying and what would the LA allow. Good luck
