Are they going to build houses on the field?
Discussion
We have a lovely field behind our house, it has cows and geese and a pond. Owned by a farmer. Some weeks ago there was a big drill thing at one end of the field, after a few days it moved to the other end.
Now, there is a man walking up and down the field over and over again, presumably measuring.
Are they going to build 10,000 Barret Homes on here?

Are you able to find a picture (on the web) of the machine you saw?Now, there is a man walking up and down the field over and over again, presumably measuring.

I'm wondering if they were doing something agricultural that might be obvious (to another forum member) from the equipment used.

Don't think it was to do with farming. Contractors and a tall vertical drill, generators. Cows had never seen anything like it.I'm wondering if they were doing something agricultural that might be obvious (to another forum member) from the equipment used.
Have you approached the council planning dept? They might be like ours and have a planning interactive map.
The problem is great views aren't guaranteed anymore.
I was commenting the other day - there's a penthouse flat with a great view over Man Utd ground. Before there was a lower level block that's now knocked down and like many in Manchester it's going to be obscured.

As well as checking the LA’s planning map/portal, you also need to have a look at whether the site has been allocated in the local plan.
However, if either of those were the case, I suspect you may have heard something on the local grapevine (or had a neighbour letter, if you’re that close) so it’s possible that it’s either something innocuous (drainage works or something) or the landowner is at a very early stage of investigating the site and hasn’t formally submitted planning yet.

You could ask the man measuring ?
Do this, at your peril.I used to be the man doing the measuring, I would have told you it was the site for a new prison, secure hospital, motorway, industrial estate, recycling plant, sewage works, in fact any old guff that would be likely to enrage the local gossips.
Normally we were simply locating underground services.
Good Luck!

There are some interesting agricultural land drainage machinery that could be mistaken for construction equipment, eg https://www.milesdrainage.co.uk/mole-drainage-suff...Now, there is a man walking up and down the field over and over again, presumably measuring.
