    Dim,

    first things first,

    an acre is about 5000m2 and not 64m by 64m

    secondly, as far as I understand, a paddock is another term for a field, but paddock is how they describe a field in the pony club vocabulary

    as far as I understand, you can do whatever you wish with your paddock,
    as long as you do not build on it or dig too big a lake that the neighbours think you are taking the p and trying to open a quarry through the back door

    hth

    now, back to your link detached mock tudor end of terrace suburbian utopia

    Milan.

          Since you don't even know how big and acre is, or how to do a sqrt, I'll skip the rest of your advice.

            If land is described as a paddock, what does this mean in legal terms? If a house comes with a paddock, can this be used at a garden, can it be landscaped and plated with trees? What are the rules on paddocks? Can I have a lake put on it?
            I believe that if you landscape, plant it etc then 'technically' you should apply for change of use. I do know that you can't just dig a lake without planning permission.

            However, you are allowed to dig a pond which may just get a bit bigger each year. Sorry - can't remember the size at which a pond turns into a lake.

                  For a start, they're literally pinching our land - All the land lost to coastal erosion in East Anglia gradually washes across the North Sea and ends up expanding Holland!

                  Also, Eastern England is sinking and the sneaky Dutch are probably on the other end of the seesaw rising!

                  In a couple a couple of million years, with or without global warming, England will be little more than a line of small islands like the Hebrides.

                      Some of us aren't all that urban these days.

                      A paddock is primarily for grazing horses (or cattle) on. As distinct from arable which you can grow crops on, or erect (fnah) a house or permanent structure on beyond a temporary field shelter.

                      You might need planning permission for the lake, and weirdly even for the trees, but more than likely able to get away with it unless you are looking to turn a profit from it

                      It will depend on the current use
