    planning

    I have a piece of land which had a pair of houses demolished on it about 20 years ago. Its now a field. Does anybody know if I would be able to build on it now ?

    Yes, your local planning authority will know.

      Ask your local council not a bunch of geeks on an IT forum.

          If he's got a laptop and a chair I don't see why he couldn't build software on the aforementioned land.

            If it's within the local development boundary then you should be ok. If it is on the edge of a villiage, or in the middle of nowhere you may have more problems.

            The best solution is to give the local planning office a call, and then follow up with an email to give the grid ref / google map etc. They are happy to give informal views on the subject, and can also indicate what the general response would be to a planning application.

            Always keep them on your side! Fuel their egos where possible, and show that you are a honest local, looking to build your own family home (if that is what you are doing).

              Not necessarily IT.

                  **** me, I never noticed that.

                  Mind you, if I didn't, maybe that'll excuse the OP too?
