Help with rejected planning permission

[marcusjames]

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.

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!

Am I being dim ? What's the good reason ?
