Help with rejected planning permission
Discussion
A friend owns a 1 acre plot next to his house. He applied for planning permission but was refused as his is the last house in the street. Another build on the plot would therefore be extending the village.
The plot is currently separated from his garden. I've done some work on the internet and read various suggestions on how to proceed. Can anyone confirm if any of these will work :
1) Take down separating fence and re-applying in a few years. Apparently it's the separation that can be an issue
2) Request planning, and build an agricultural outbuilding. After a few years, apply for a conversion to residential.
3) Apply for planning for social housing !!
4) Let the land go to ruin, creating an eye-sore, tempting the parish council to approve an application (sounds a little strange)
Any assistance would be appreciated.

Having failed to sell our house last year, we have decided to stay put for a while but have it extended to enhance its value.
We therefore applied for planning permission for a major extension that would make the house 100ft tall and 400ft wide
with nine turrets at various heights complete with windows all over the place.
It would have parking for 1 00 cars and I was going to paint it snot green and orange.
The town council rejected the application out-of-hand and more or less told me to sod off.
So I sent in the application again, but this time I called it a Mosque.
Building work starts next Monday.

I have a friend who does this for a living, his advice would be find a local planning specialist who will do it for a fee.
If your friend does not want to do that then have they had a conversation with the council to see what they can do with the land?
Traveller sites are quite lucrative I hear....

His house borders open land?. Maybe the planners are right & he should not build there. He should just accept it, permission was declined for a good reason!
ohhh big opinions on little facts... nobber.OP
Its a tough one, how about extending the current house "into" the land and building one behind a bit off center.......
You need a planning consultant. Forger doing it yourself. We are currently trying to build on a small parcel of land which the council regards as 'open countryside', which it plainly isn't. Planning law is a minefield and you need someone who can build the case for you and counter the council's objections. This will require time, patience and plenty of cash!

Am I being dim ? What's the good reason ?The chances are that by building in the area next to him it will be extending the village envelope and if this was allowed to happen it may open the doors to lots of building as others could say you let them go ahead and you could be in a situation where the village may cease to be a village and end up as a town
Without seeing the proposal ,
I would guess that the the new one was of a similar size to the existing , when it needs to be smaller , lower and obviously subservient , to allow the house massing to diminish as development finishes and countryside starts.
I also suspect that there was no consultation with the planners prior to making a submission.
It is a shame the application was not withdrawn before a refusal was issued .

^^^^ What he said ^^^^^^^
Have a look on the Local Authority website under Local Plan. You will probably find that the red boundary is drawn round his plot and not the plot next to it. This is whats called "The Development Boundary". Anything outside that then you are against government policy for a start.
Agricultural building???? Can you demonstrate a need for such a building????
I would speak to the Parish council first.
Find out if there is a need for housing in the village. This "May" be your best way forward.
Best of luck

Declined as it would be extending the village - Fact as posted
So not a big opinion, it looks like the planners declined it for a very good reason.
So less of the playground childish insults (which incedentally I have reported).

It's difficult to advise without full knowledge of the site, the proposal, the local plan framework, etc. but in answer to your four suggestions I would say:The plot is currently separated from his garden. I've done some work on the internet and read various suggestions on how to proceed. Can anyone confirm if any of these will work :
1) Take down separating fence and re-applying in a few years. Apparently it's the separation that can be an issue

1) Forget it, I would assume the land in question is outside of the village boundary on the local plan. Simply taking down a fence won't change that.
2) He would still probably have to demonstrate agricultural need for such building and residential conversions tend to be for old stone barn type buildings not new agricultural buildings. If this plan of attack was easy then everyone would do it, but they don't do they?
3) Applying for social housing doesn't set aside all other planning considerations. If the site is outside the village boundary the type of housing won't change that.
4) You'll just end up annoying all the locals and the council will serve a notice on you to tidy the land if it really becomes an issue. You'll not manage to bully them into granting planning permission.
You can appeal against a refused planning application but I'd also recommend getting a planning consultant to look at it. They should be able to tell you whether it is worth fighting the case, it may just be a waste of time and money.

This could be put down as a "win" for you.
- on an edit, you quite like DIY don't you.

If the land is outside the village envelope and there are no exceptional circumstances to permit development tell him to save his money because he won't be gaining permission to build. The refusal of planning permission will state the reasons for refusal, from these it should be very clear whether there is any chance at all.
