what to do with 3 acres of land
 
theres 3 acres of land near me going for sale. its a field off a country lane. if i bought it, what could i do with it? any ideas? my only thought at the moment is turn it into a car park and charge for staying as we're a mile from an airport.

depends what the land is classed as

Whatever you want to do with it you will need planning permission.

Land round here is around £2,000 an acre as a field and up to £200,000 with planning permission.

better not be the land at the back of my house :mad:

We've got five acres here - The place had been left (old nursery) for years and is mostly overgrown.
House now sorted, and I am now a strimming (as in heavy duty brushcutter) ninja!
Plan to grow lots of stuff on it.

Nice view too (from our lounge and two of the bedrooms)...

Tbh it sounds as if its for sale as agricultural land only - trust me if it had been granted planning permission for building houses it would have been snapped up long before going on the market.

You could always put an equestrian centre on it - some big money in that:)

Poor Guy 21 December 2006 01:58 PM

its next to a big horse riding centre and big match fishing lakes.

The Chief 21 December 2006 01:58 PM

Hmmm maybe small but if its long and narrow maybe a driving range.

Speaking as a property developer.
There are snow balls swimming about in molten larva with better chances than you have of gaining consent for anything approaching a profitable development on what appears to be green belt land.

Poor Guy 21 December 2006 02:18 PM

Don't fancy walking a mile to the airport with my luggage.

Poor Guy 21 December 2006 02:27 PM

Build a runway for Lithuanian Airlines.

orbix 21 December 2006 02:42 PM

Buy the land and then paint a big sign on the ground that says this:-

Airport (with arrow pointing to airport)
Try Not To Crash
This Time!

scoobynutta555 21 December 2006 02:50 PM

Mark it out with string into plots. Put a board outside saying plots for sale ST planning permission.

Read that some guy did this and made a few million after buying some agriculture land for a few grand. Was zero hope of planning permission, but he sold everything.
