A paddock is usually a fenced area adjacent of very near to stables and primarily used for grazing horses. Usually only used as temporary grazing since a paddock is usually deemed to be too small to use for regular grazing.
As a rule of thumb allow 1.2 acres ( 0.5 Hectare ) per horse on good quality grazing. The worse the grazing the more acreage needed per horse. Most land used for grazing horses or ponies can only manage half this density, ie 2.4 acre per horse.
Anything over an acre normally qualifies as a field.

We did the same, bought a strip of land and have been advised that we wouldn't get change of use to residential so don't even bother applying. We weren't fussed; liked the idea of an orchard anyway.
We made the mistake of putting a garden table and chairs on it shortly after making a hole in the hedge to access the strip from our garden. It was only temporary and I hadn't got around to moving them back to the garden. Within 2 weeks, we had a visit from a council bod saying they'd been a complaint about the table and chairs. Council bod thought it was a bit petty that the complaint had been made so soon but basically we had to stop treating the land as garden (i.e. putting a table and chairs on it).
Basically Dim, if you treat the paddock as garden, expect a visit. If you build on (unless agricultural building I think) expect a kicking. If you want to build a lake on it, I'm not sure, but probably not, planning permission needed for any spoil removal from site though. Expect limitless levels of petty beaurocracy at all times.
Alternatively, plant a hedge. Do what you want and hope the council don't have helicopters.

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

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.

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.

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.
