Excellent story, can’t believe you don’t have more subscribers on your channel. I think there’s a lot of us who grew on on farms trying to get back on the farming ladder….
This is fantastic to see, thank you for sharing. We're exploring similar ourselves. Do you offer drafting rental / option agreements? We're looking to start out with rental agreement with an embedded option to purchase at a pre-agreed rate, index linked. Any strategies (apart from marketing for sale at 40% below OMV or, never living in it as an agri occupancy) to remove a tie like that in 10 years?
Really enjoyed this - thank you for sharing. I'm both surprised and very impressed by what you have achieved - from scratch! Amazing! It's particularly interesting to me because you hear a lot of the negatives and people trying to beat the system but it seems you've played by the rules and won? Can I ask though, if they did reject anything at any point? I'm guessing sometimes this is down to ones specific council and very much depends on your neighbours! Thanks again. I hoping to possibly need your services in the future.
Hi Dan. Yes the house has got an 'occupancy condition' which restricts the occupiers to being employed in agriculture. Often referred to as an agricultural tie. If you want to know more about Agricultural Ties, we are holding webinar on this topic on Monday 13th November at 7pm.
Hi Hanna, am I right in thinking that for one of the tests to live onsite, you have to have at least 40 hours of work for a rural worker, and different animals have different hours of care assigned to them by the council. Do you know where these hours per animal are published, please? Kind Regards Jeff.
Hi Jeff. Yes, one of the common tests to justify an agricultural workers dwelling is to show that there is a need for a full time worker. The widely accepted test is that you have to show 275 days per year of work. Different consultants use different data to calculate the days of work. One of the common sources of data is John Nix Farm Management Pocketbook. But, use with caution as there are variations and some things don't entirely fit (ask a good planning consultant to help!) We seem to be doing more and more Ag Workers Dwellings as our knowledge is extensive on this topic.
@@theruralplanningco2112 on this subject, how do the council determine if there is genuine need to live on site? does it have to be animals or can plants/horticulture meet the bill?

Thankyou for sharing that with us! So your home will have an agricultural tie or whatever they call it now?
Cheers

I'd be interested in that @@theruralplanningco2112 how do I sign up? Will there be a link on your site nearer the time or something? Thanks.

I'm 90% sure it has to be animals@@wancrit2317 but I'm no expert. I'd put money on that though - haha.
18:11 “we applied for the permanent dwelling”. Was that under permitted development or did you do a full,planning application? Thanks😊
Where did you buy the log cabin from?
