Hi all,
I am considering joining my friends who are running a 'Glamping' site in an AONB. (Holidays in yurts and forest cabins.) It is on an established farm with a farm house, 2 barns and another barn that was converted to a restaurant. There is no farming happening though.
I would be establishing a permaculture kitchen garden. And would dearly love to live on site in a "Tiny house" (essentially a caravan, but more like a shack built on a caravan frame).
I was wondering if it would be permitted development to build a 3rd barn? (they do need the storage space, and starting a permaculture garden would surely make it even more necessary to have more barn space)
I think I read on the annexepps7.pdf that barns older than 2 years do not count towards the footprint size limit on permitted developments, is this right? So, assuming they have more than 12.5 acres, it should be PD to built another barn regardless of there already being 2 barns on the farm?
Thanks guys, you all rock.

This has also been mentioned elsewhere on the forum and you are right. However, be warned that some councils are more amenable than others. Good luck.I think I read on the annexepps7.pdf that barns older than 2 years do not count towards the footprint size limit on permitted developments, is this right?

We would also like to mention that we are glad you plucked up courage to ask a question when you have been a part of the community since September and do so hope that you will receive even more encouraging replies.
