Actually we are horsey too, so a paddock would be an added bonus

Ironically, I was looking at that very listing only this morning! I hadn't thought of the idea of buying a plot with PP, and then buying adjoining non PP land (such as paddocks) - good suggestion! Given the size of the plots available in the area, and our budget, this could be more of a viable option.

You're right. I guess in part we are trying to work out if it's even feasible within our budget or not. Very new at this, and still much to learn about process, costs, expectations and any ideas that may help us on our journey that we haven't thought of - which I am sure there are lots!

Thanks! Of course 2 acres would be a dream, we are though expecting closer to 0.5 acres if this dream is to become a reality.

Hi - I'm a new joiner and wanted to say hi! I've seen so much great advice and help on the forum, I'm sure it's going to be really helpful :) Like I have seen from another recent joiner, my partner and I are self-build dreamers looking for a plot of land in Kent and East and West Sussex - and just like the previous joiner this morning from the same area, we're also finding land with planning permission incredibly rare and incredibly expensive. I guess this is the way of the world at the moment, particularly in the South East! We though are more in the camp of wanting to build a small property (2-3 beds of between 1-2 floors) and with 0.5-2 acres of land. I guess these though are the most desired plots. Anyway I hope to be able to learn more about the process, and contribute as much as I can :)
