Can I legally separate my garden from my property &I then apply for planning permiss?

Options
I recently purchased a property (with a mortgage) that has a massive garden that I'd like to apply for a deed of seperation with and build a separate house on.

Would my mortgage company have any issues with me doing this? As the property that I took the mortgage out with would loose some garden space.

    Yes? No? How do we know?


    But it's worth asking them.
