Derelict house in middle of field. Planning?!

[pilsbury]

Only needs a lick of paint and some weed killer although it might not be so idyllic when HS2 comes rolling past!

Ha! Got to be 30miles from that monstrosity!

I understood a bit more about HS2 when I watched this.

I had read the post mentioned above. All very interesting but not really what I wanted to hear. Leads me to think of flogging a dead horse. This property I’m interested in has not been lived in for either 50years or since 1950 - my misses can’t remember exactly what was said, but either way it’s over half a century! Plus it has a tree growing in it….. I’m posting the listing here, just so you can see why I’m very taken with this plot and feel I want to “explore till I’m sure”. If I could reinstate/rebuild similar, this is kind of what I’d imagine perfect for me. Don’t all start a bidding war now…. It could be a very pricey field for a horse.

TBH if it were me, as frankly I'm not au fait with new development (and don't want to be - I'm more Building Regs) I'd probably look up a good local architect who's remit includes new house builds and see if you can appoint them for an hour or three to find out if the land is in an area where housing can be applied for or not (probably £2-300). They will understand how to interpret the maps properly and should have valuable local knowledge if you get the right one. Most architects will work on such a basis and if they think they might be in the running to get the planning or whatever then why wouldn't they, at least you'll get some professional advice which frankly wil be more use than anything off this forum. I don't think they'll just say yes to get a foot in the door, they need to be careful on the advice they dish out. Certainly would be worth a chat with a few to suss them out ....
