Hi all after years of trying to find a plot of land with a house on it we have given up, we did find a 5 acre plot with a ruin on it but can only convert the ruin to a holiday let even though it is in the countryside and it was actually a farm cottage in the first place!
Well to get to the point, Can and does the f2f system work we are prepared for a battle with planners but just wondered if anyone has actually managed it? Any advise would be appreciated from members with the relevant experience.
Thanks in advance.

My advice would be to build the holiday let first then live in it on f2f principles and go for change of use eventually.
Baileys Barn i a good example of this

Hi thanks for the advice, we did think about that but the the holiday let can only be used for 3 months out of the year would we not be evicted?

The part about the holiday let isn't in the book well not having a 3 month restriction anyway! I have read the book cover to cover (twice) and it all sounds feasible but not easy, these things never are. The question I was asking is can anyone say "yes I have tried it and yes it does work" before I put my hard earned money into it and potentially loose everything
Thanks..
Thanks..

Hi Boo Crew,
In simple terms the answer is yes. However, only the dedicated will succeed and that dedication is in relation to not just perseverance with planning but also to the farming business. The farming is harder than the planning although that may somewhat depend on one's knowledge of the planning system and dealing with planning officers.
It is a risk as is any such venture so there is no 100% gaurantee. However, if you (and your family?) are prepared for several years of hard graft and dealing with all the elements that farming WILL bring, then you have a greater chance of success.
