I think it is the ambition of many people to realise that dream home in the countryside, enjoying the fresh air, wide landscape views and peace away from the hustle and bustle of the city. But how can you go about realising that ambition?
Broadly speaking there are three main routes to realising new homes in the countryside:
- Rebuilding and renovating an existing building
- Starting an agricultural business
- A paragraph 84 home
Each route has its own planning considerations, and the right one depends on the site, the brief, and how you want to live.
