And there lies the difficulty. Unless there is a specific buyer with a specific plan in mind, you don't know what to apply for. And if there is a specific buyer, then they will just apply for PP themselves.

and what the architect that has been suggested can do with the land.

The local planning officer will give you a very broad idea e.g. extension, yes. New dwelling, no

Check with a local estate agent (usually the local small ones with the proper surveying qualifications) to see if they think there is a possibility of a building plot on the land - obviously then the land is worth a lot more. Often the house value stays roughly the same, and the building plot is a bonus. My OH spotted a house last year with what seemed like quite a large garden. It had been sold twice in the last 4 years, but looked odd as to the way it had been set out. We couldn't believe our luck, as the house had been up for sale for quite a while, and had no buyers. To cut a long story short, we bought the house, & now have planning permission for a pair of starter homes, & the land is worth £60,000 - the house is worth about £3,000 less than we paid for it. Sometimes if the house stands on a very large garden, it is feasible to pull it down, and maybe build 4 or five on it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I told my OH to stop playing the lottery, as we had got our windfall.
