Ok so this has been a long term goal of mine to build a house in a field my parents own. It is too small to be used for farming as it is only an acre. There are two barns but I was hoping to leave them well alone and build a seperate building for use as a dwelling. There are various agricultural occupancy routes I could go down (we do currently run a chicken farm on the land although it isnt very large, less than 50chickens). I do however rent out one of the barns as storage and am wondering if I can use this as a springboard to get my dwelling then expand on the storage/workshop type of business.
Has anyone got any advice on how I can go about this? What are the first steps? Council? planning consultants? architect? Or buy a shed load of chickens...
Thanks
