Knocking down older house?

We are currently looking into buying our dream piece of land but the house isn’t quiet what we want. It’s not listed but it looks like it should be, it’s a very old beamy house really well looked after and some would love it but not quiet what we want house wise. What are the chances of us being able to get planning to knock it down and get a new build? Even though it’s not listed. Thanks Kelly

Depends on your Planning Authority I would have thought. Several people have done such a thing around here and told us that as long as it is your house you can do what you like with it. Then some of the very same people bought another old house, with land, got planning permission to build on the land but were told they could not knock down the old, frail, timber framed un listed house beside it. I am not sure if that was a definite "no" or just that they would rather they didn't knock it down. Only time will tell :)
