Hi all. Newbie here and really hoping this forum is a best place to come for advice. I've already read some great posts that could help me. I'm about to finalise a house completion in north Buckinghamshire that comes with 7 acres of adjoining land. My first challenge is understanding what I can do with the land. I'm not clear on it's designation. Weirdly it's not been mentioned in my process of purchase with the solicitor. Definitely not garden/residential. There's a wall (with gate) dividing the formal garden and the land. Whilst the land has a small stables built, it has not been used for horse grazing in some time so I suspect the land is deemed pasture land these days. I'm ideally looking to find a way to officially determine how the land is classified. I'm not looking to extend the garden, but would be good to understand what I can do with the land. What I'm thinking: Divide area's off with fence / hedgerow Plant a fruit orchard (circa 1 acre) Large vegetable patch / raised beds possible chicken coops, maybe some goats None of this should be problematic for agricultural, but my concern is that I think if the land is deemed Pasture / Grazing land it may be a little more tricky to do some of this stuff. Hope to hear from the good folk on this website for help.
