You can always live in a caravan while doing the extension, and then call yourself a Pikey. Store a few peoples caravans there, and then you can do what you want. It works for all the Pikey sc*m, so why not you?

Have been in the same boat re 'business use' I will look out the correct terms used and let you know either by phone or PM, there is a way you could carry on the 'business' without planning
don't know about horses tho....only got rabbits and deer here and they are wild, (well not too happy anyway!)
I hate planners me - or anyone that tries to tell me what I can or can't do with my property or possesions

Had a visit from the council planning guy this week, investigating claims of various breaches of planning by me running a business from our residencial property!!

Just to stick the knife in they've also done us for keeping horses and building stables and an arena 'for a possible equestian business' on agricultural land, as well as the buisness parking trucks on it.

In the current climate in the village its unlikely I'm gonna get planning to run a car repair buisness here, and I don't make anyway near enough money to rent a unit yet (plus would rather be at home anyway)

As the horses being at home are far more important to us than the business, we're going to 'temporarily stop working on 4x4's officially' so we have less hassle getting the horses planning sorted out, as this will give the busybodys in the village less to complain about, as we are allowed to graze horses, but not do anything with them, so just the arena needs planning permission, and change of use, but the rest of the fields are OK.

Also we have nearly got everthing ready for building the house extension, so I was going to be putting 4x4toys on 'hold' anyway while we rebuild our house, so its not such a big deal short term.

But before lots of people get to worried about their trucks, it not the end of the world, they can't stop me working on my trucks or for 'friends from the forum with cash', it just can't be official buisness work.

I'll try and spend a couple of days a week doing trucks, the rest will be house building, so please except apologies in advance, as you'll probably find lots of notice will be required for fixing trucks for a year or so, and we want to try and get a little more geared up for selling 4x4 stuff on-line to make a bit of money.

Thanks.

sometimes this country makes me sick, i suppose they would rather you stopped work and went on the dole !, be careful you don't get stuck for capital gains tax too, sometimes it feels lke it's impossible to get on don't it - bast*ds

its cheaper up here

With good reason!

[Highlander1]

Some folks want to work and can't some never want to work and won't it's always the workers who get shafted.

Just read the news it's $$$$$$ pathetic that you can't earn a crust on your own door step.

The planners scuppered my mates falconery buisiness and put so many things in his road after he'd piled his life into the buisiness he hung himself. One day I went to visit him and found him in his barn.

My mother wanted to build a wee sun porch in the village she lives in but her neighbour said it would spoil the asthetics of the street it was only 9ft by 9 ft.

Bah humbug. How the hell did they get away with building the most ugly building in the world for 400million IE Scottish Parliament. How many houses and hospitals could that have built.

Jumping up and down

Oh yes... He kept shouting something in welsh 'Cwm yn ffeboks!' or something like that.. (and he did all the hard work..)

Well quite seriously keep your eyes open for place - we need min 10 acres and a few barns - not worried about the state of the house - we can fix that.

Not sure how that would happen?? There isn't a capital gain AFAIK??

any old footings that can be found you can rebuild it (loop hole in the law)
