  1. Thanks @IanR It is possible that the land it needs to be diverted on to is also owned by the same person selling the plot so might make things easier/harder! Opens barns with no means of securing could something to go on, research is ongoing. Thanks!
  2. Hi all, I've been looking for a suitable plot for many years and recently come across a few that finally look suitable. However, they all seem to have a public footpath or bridleway either directly through the plot or around the side of it within the plot boundary. I know the process to re-route/divert can be long and costly. Does anyone have any experience of obtaining planning permission to develop a site whilst a footpath diversion application is in place? Just trying to ascertain if the site could still be developed at the same time the diversion order was being processed. Obviously if the diversion order has to be completed first before any planning permission is granted you might be talking 2 years for the diversion order to complete, then a year for PP then a year or so for build which is obviously a considerable amount of time! Thanks
  3. I've had a quote for £50k, 2 connections, nearest pole 900m away along a country C road. And one for £30k, 2 connections nearest pole 500m away going over private farm land (assuming the land owner is OK with it + solicitors fees etc). No experience on the subject but reading the thread those numbers seem about right. Apart from negotiating the quote down as the poster above did, not sure there are any other alternatives? Apart from going off grid!
  4. Just how they are with regards to moving the house location on the plot etc. If there is a row of houses it makes sense if the new build lines up but sometimes where the plot is slightly more remote I have seen plans where the house is just stuck right in the middle. A new position to give a bigger rear garden might be best rather than equally small front/back gardens.
  5. Been meaning to ask this question for a while myself. So much of what I see has a slightly generic oak framed 4 bed which isn't too bad of course but we'd always want to change it. In some cases make the house smaller and move footprint slightly down the plot to make the garden bigger. I guess it depends on the local authority?
