Visibility splays are taken 2.4m back in most cases, not 4.5m back. The point is the splay is taken from roughly where the driver sits, not the back of the car! Take a look at Manual for Streets, page 91. - I used to work at a Highway Authority and then as a private Transport Planner.
WoW! so glad I've just seen this! we've been looking for a small plot of land and as much as I've read lots of self build Magazines and researched online these things haven't been mentioned ...Thank you for sharing, I look forward to reading more .
The only thing I would add is a planning consultant maybe the best option to make sure it is most likely to get planning permission as they will do a full planning report, which will give you an almost guaranteed answer if it will be accepted or not.

Really informative, thanks. Itd be great to cover mortgages for land and self build, and potential unknown huge costs. Also weighting up land with planning permission vs doing it all yourself. Modular houses are of a particular interest given the cost of living these days, but if the land with permission is as expensive without guarantees, it becomes a problem! I'd love vidoes on the above topics ☺
My greatest concern is how to recover from all these economic and global troubles and stay afloat especially with the political power tussle going on in US.
Yes, tesla, transportation, e-commerce among other sectors are expected to experience growth, but who knows, the market has been a basket of surprises.
This is exactly in kind of information i was looking for. Thanks for the video. I wanted to think of all the hurdles in advance, this has given me good leads.
No problem, if you identify a site I’m happy to do a consultation with you. You can find the link on my profile RealLifeArchitect.co.uk please book BEFORE you buy a site.
@@RealLifeArchitecture it's not a mystery for specialists like you or the regulators, so it should be specified directly for any plot on sale, if it's appropriate for development or not, otherwise it's a scam as to me.
@@vitaliistep I hear you but that isn’t workable. It’s often not possible to tell if a site will get planning approval unless you apply for planning to find out. It’s assumed the buyer will have taken appropriate advice from a lawyer, architect, surveyor and others.
@@RealLifeArchitecture I understand, but that's like a lottery then. There should be a better way to do it. Something like for the mentioned developers, which do not pay for the plot until there is a guarantee that it can be developed. I understand that it's the whole point to make the potentially cheaper variant less accessible to make people pay more in the end, but I hope it will change for the better one day.
Why would I want a junction to get on/off a private land? Surely you're not suggesting here that every entrance/exit onto/from a driveway is considered a junction, fella?
@@RealLifeArchitecture yeah it requires permission but it doesn't form a junction. Those are 2 separate concepts. What you're discussing here might apply to large residential/commercial developments where you need an internal road, but a junction for a driveway leading to a house???
did you ever hear of people buying agriculture land from farmers for a relatively cheap price and then living in a caravan/barn on that land until they get the right to build a permanent structure? seems pretty risky as i hear theyre usually trying to get retroactive planning permission for the barn they put up and live in secretly for 4 years, or may be 10 years now.
@@RealLifeArchitecture lol thought it sounded too good to be true but i do see a few youtubers doing this, allegedly. like "small famer life". he apparently bought the land from a farmer and started farming some chickens etc, he said the council then give you 3-5 years to prove your farming business can work and let you live on the land in that time period to manage the farm. then if they believe it's working you can get permission for a farm house. allegedly.
@@RealLifeArchitecture does that mean that you need to be really really nice given a permitted 8 ft fence would destroy the application. Self build is scary.
@@RealLifeArchitecture no i just saw your video with the tree and have been looking online at plots in residential areas. Definitely think extensions would be safer than new builds
Hello, first of all thank you so much for this information i am 25 year old and trying to build house for my familly at 25k salary with some savings and after watching this it might be hard its possible thank you so much, is it possible to build 4 bedroom house on 200,000 budget if u find the land with planing permission?
I learned that the stock market was a rich man's game (yes, grandparents lost it all back then and preached that forever) but I've been around long enough to really taste how great it can be. To be profitable, with inflation at 6.1% These are surely desperate times, but in my opinion, there is no market condition that a good financial advisor cannot navigate, especially those that have existed since the crisis of 2008 and before.
my 401k growth has been stagnant since the 2019. I wouldn't mind consulting the advisor who guides you, I really want to grow my retirement fund since I could retire in 3 years.

Wow! I have been looking for land for a self build for ages, and have never heard about these potential issues. Much appreciated.
No problem. Am soon going to do a video on self-build mortgages.

This an excellent video. Some self builders don't realise the basic requires for road access etc
Thank you!

A planning consultant is a good idea but, even then, it isn’t sensible to give clients guarantees.
@Alex-cw3rz - Let me guess: You are a planning consultant. Right?

Are you thinking of buying land?
@@RealLifeArchitecture yes I am, deciding if I should look for one with plans to start with
@@VinylLondon getting a site with full planning approval (not outline approval) is a good idea.

Extremely informative thank you!

Why are problematic plots on sale at all? What a scam...
Thank you very much.
The onus is very much on the buyer to work out what is possible. I offer consultations to anyone thinking of buying a plot (link in profile)

It may be private land but it’s a public road (owned by local authority) even forming a dropped kerb requires permission.
@@RealLifeArchitecture yeah it requires permission but it doesn't form a junction. Those are 2 separate concepts. What you're discussing here might apply to large residential/commercial developments where you need an internal road, but a junction for a driveway leading to a house???

No problem
Good content but the stock footage spoils it for me 😞
This is three years old, check my recent content.
How are ransom strips legal??? Surely this would be something to legislate against!
On the face of you you are correct but it isn’t easy to legislate against people owning property.

Let’s be clear, that does not work.

Can a neighbour plant a tree during the process to stop the application?
Never heard of this one. The system isn’t easily fooled, there are no loopholes.
@@RealLifeArchitecture does that mean that you need to be really really nice given a permitted 8 ft fence would destroy the application. Self build is scary.
@@Paul-ks2fv this sounds like an interesting story, do you have more details?

I know having a financial advisor improves your overall portfolio performance, but are they really as effective as you claim?
