planning laws

[Grizz]

tell your neighbour you have been approached by travellers who want to buy your land for "a few horses" and you have no choice but to sell cause he has been blocking your efforts to build. See him quickly backtrack . mention Cottenham if he's a bit thick.

already had the local gypsy/council officials enquiring about a purchase,,obviously it will be worth more with outline planning which is what im trying for,,,,the field is a retiremnet/pension pot for my parents who retire next year so im trying to max the value for there retirement
solar panels sounds good,will look into that one

solar panels sounds good,will look into that one

Or wind farm?

Depends what area your in, the UDP will differ to each area, has there been any structure on the site? if so are there any foundations showing? if not, was it part of a farm? if so then it is agricultural land, stick a barn on it or stables, you may need to apply for a lawfull development Certificate and will need all documents referencing its previous use

U will also need planning permission for Solar and they are very expensive i doubt if you will get planning on solar panels

[cablefreejunkie]

a very long time ago there was a dwelling on the land,i have the plans showing this which were handed to me by the previous owner,,,but for some reason which im totally unaware of the council are refusing to grant permission even though they are aware of a dwelling being present on the land at a previous date
i think its more to do with the neighbours,,they have tried to make my life hell at every opportunity,,obviously got nothing better to do with their lives except worry about mine
still plenty of things to think about doing with the land,,,,solar panels would get permission as this is a green incentive and its all the rage at the moment,,,,the climate is in meltdown apparently and we should be doing all we can to stop it,,so they say,
if its true then renewables are very important and they would bend over backwards to help me help surely ??
im going to look into this a bit more

with regards ro the solar panel,
i heard a program on radio 4 all about this.
apparently investers are falling over themselves to back these schemes.
it has something to do with government guarrenteeing payments or high tarifs being payed foor electricity generated.
they are more or less guarenteed a safe return for there money at a high rate.

the farmers stick them on poor ground and also get a guarenteed income....

for some reason planning permission doesnt seem to be a problem....

found link to the program, but not available for listen again...

Remember This guy?

I'm sure I heard in conversation with a builder who had a similar problem was that if he had a small holding of pigs and chickens he could build a dwelling to care for etc .... how true this is I don't know but a little research might pay off.

And the guy in the link tried the law of having a turret and defending the queen ... totally legal but overuled by local council. Probably because they missed out on a lot of fees.

Hi, your problem is greenbelt. If you cant get development with plans and/or footing showing you prodably wont get planning for solar. two issues need to be adressed 1) you need to write to the LPA and ask the what they will let you put on the land. If you have already done that and the response is bad then you can put an application in with a change of use this is called 'lawful development Certificate' but you need to cross your "t"s an dot your "i"s
in otherwords proof is everything copy your plans and send your copy in. 2) download your local UDP, you should find somewhere in it that the LPA will accept in certain circumstances build in greenbelt. check them!
one point, only put planning in for what was originally on the land in the first place. The 'change of use' i mentioned earlier unless writing in they accept you point. you can also check the town and country planning act 1990 as a starting point this can be downloaded

Check this out





Extract from The Town and Country Planning Act 1990 section 192





192 Certificate of lawfulness of proposed use or development. E+W

(1)If any person wishes to ascertain whether—
(a)any proposed use of buildings or other land; or
(b)any operations proposed to be carried out in, on, over or under land,
would be lawful, he may make an application for the purpose to the local planning authority specifying the land and describing the use or operations in question.
(2)If, on an application under this section, the local planning authority are provided with information satisfying them that the use or operations described in the application would be lawful if instituted or begun at the time of the application, they shall issue a certificate to that effect; and in any other case they shall refuse the application.
(3)A certificate under this section shall—
(a)specify the land to which it relates;
(b)describe the use or operations in question (in the case of any use falling within one of the classes specified in an order under section 55(2)(f), identifying it by reference to that class);
(c)give the reasons for determining the use or operations to be lawful; and
(d)specify the date of the application for the certificate.
(4)The lawfulness of any use or operations for which a certificate is in force under this section shall be conclusively presumed unless there is a material change, before the use is instituted or the operations are begun, in any of the matters relevant to determining such lawfulness.

the guy you mentioned lives about 5 miles from myself,and his plight has been well documented in our local press,,its not the first running hes had with the council,,,my land falls under a different council but still experiencing the same problems
the other avenue which is available is that if i can prove that the land is where i make my living then i would be granted permission for a dwelling,but at the moment i dont make any income from it

One of my old mates dad had some greenbelt land in a very nice village location near to us and the general status was he would never be able to erect a dwelling on this land, what he did was buy a few cows and put them on his land, every week or so he would go to the land at night and leave certain gates open etc. Hence you get cows wondering about on the roads, because he lived a few miles away it would be several hours before he could get there to round the dumb ~~~~ers up. After several incidents and a few moaning coppers reports they gave him permission to build a one storey dwelling so he could be on hand if the cows got out again, he now has a ?750.000 bugalow and enough steak to last him 10 years...chuck

[cablefreejunkie]

i like that story,,,there will always be means and ways of making these things happen,,,many people have succeeded in getting around the planning regs etc,,,lets hope i get there sooner rather than later

You can have a certificated camping and caravan site but you can only have 5 caravans on it and your nieghbours cant stop it but you do have to put a septic tank on it you have to have one of the camping clubs certificate the land and with out electic you would get about ?5 per unit per night .

[tubs]

its so good that we dont get away with buliding on green belt just imange all land taken up by greeedy buliders it would be a night mere we need all the land we can get
