Title: Barn placement
Post by: Loraine on August 27, 2015, 06:35:27 pm

hello, apologies if this seems stupid but I'm just starting of.
I have found some land, services are around but would need to be connected, but because the land is in a long strip the potential electric supply is in one area.    So can I put my barn here or am I restricted to putting it in a set area?
Thanks for your help
Loraine.

You will generally either need planning permission or have permitted development rights see
