PLEASE READ BEFORE POSTING: Hello Forumites! In order to help keep the Forum a useful, safe and friendly place for our users, discussions around non-MoneySaving matters are not permitted per the Forum rules. While we understand that mentioning house prices may sometimes be relevant to a user's specific MoneySaving situation, we ask that you please avoid veering into broad, general debates about the market, the economy and politics, as these can unfortunately lead to abusive or hateful behaviour.

Obtaining Planning Permission for New Builds

The LA aren't daft, and the change of use is the bit that'll be hard.You could always be a bit cheeky and apply for change of use to incorporate this bit of land into the existing garden thus making your garden bigger. At this stage without a building on it.
Then once (if ) the change of use is agreed, apply to build the new property which might be easier if it's a garden.0 -
Is the advice from your local council or someone else?
Which "other council" do they refer to?
The OP only applied for advice.
There is no 'other council,' just the one they'd apply to if the submitted an application for PP.
If PP is refused, applicants may appeal, and ultimately a decision might go before the Secretary of State, who has the power to overturn it, which is what sometimes happens with large developments. This is what the OP was referring to.0
