I live in Scotland and have a nice house in the country which came with a field, in total including my house and garden it comes to about 2 acres. I have no use for the field so I am giving serious thought to the idea of selling part of it as a building plot.
My idea so far is to obtain full planning permission for a 3 bed bungalow on approx 0.5 of an acre at the far end of my field and sell it on the property market.
And that is as far as I have got so far.
I know I have to obtain planning permission from the council, but what should my first step be?
Do I go to a local builder and ask for quotes for building a house, do I go to an architect and ask them to provide me with plans for a house on the plot, or am I way off the mark already?
