Well I have started the dialogue & process with the council pre-planning dept. This could be a short or long road but here goes.
We have a 2.5 acre plot with our house on the 0.5 acre with the 2 acre bit we would like to build on which is greenbelt. Not sure why it is greenbelt as nobody can really see it and one highway boundary is a dead end so no through traffic. The other boundary highway is a rural b road with little traffic.
The site is rural and we have 3 neighbours really with maybe 3-5 acres a piece. If there was a house on the 2 acre plot already you would never batter an eyelid. We know there was a cottage at the top bit of the 2 acre section maybe 50-100 years ago and another at the bottom longer ago than that.
Then the previous owner had the 2 acre plot pretty much filled with greenhouses when they moved in maybe 30 years ago. These were removed and it became 3 paddocks for horses with 3 outbuildings so a stable block and two other outbuilding used as tacking room and putting shed.
Has anyone firstly had any experience developing on their own land attached to their home?
Secondly has anyone done this on their land that is greenbelt?
Any help, advice, opinions or information is very much welcomed.
