Russell griffiths Posted November 7, 2016 Share Posted November 7, 2016 Hi just found this forum and hope it's going to point me in the right direction on a few things, I hope I can help out also as this will be our second new build, and I've been involved in the building game for 30 years now. Right what can I tell you. Married, no kids, 46, just bought into a business that provides holidays and fishing, located in the Cotswolds, we have 17 acres and 3 lakes the biggest is 7 acres. We have just spent a small fortune and a year gaining change of use on a former manager's cabin on site, the plan now is to go for planning on a replacement dwelling and remove the old cabin and build a nice new house in its place. We have a planning consultancy company working with us who have cost us a small fortune, but I don't begrudge them a penny of it, they have achieved loads and the planning we have in place so far has put the value of our site up tremendously. That's enough to send you to sleep. Get ready for the barrage of questions. Russ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
