This answer was rated:
★ ★ ★ ★ ★

I WANT TO BUY A FIELD AND BUILD A LIGHT INDUSTRIAL UNIT ON IT. FOR 2 OVENS THAT "AGE" GARLIC.
CAN I JUST BUY ANY FIELD? FARM?
ALSO IF I WANTED TO PUT A CHALET ON IT OR RENT HOLIDAY TENTS ETC WHAT PERMISSION AM I LOOKING FOR AND HOW EASY IS IT TO GET?

1. You should really be looking at a field zoned industrial use in order that you can get planning permission to erect a light industrial unit. Otherwise you will have a job convincing your local planning authority that you should get permission in any old field. Any old field really has no value for you as there is no guarantee of development. In fact, there is a presumption against use for industrial buildings. So get a field that is zoned industrial use. Secondly, you will not be able to put a chalet on a field zoned industrial. AGain you should be looking at a field zoned residential use, or if for tents, amenity use, so that you will get the appropriate planning permission. Accordingly, I would suggest that you first looked at a map of the zoning for planning permission in the area in which you wish to develop. Then you will see what field is appropriate to buy. Then you can approach an auctioneer or an owner and seek to buy what is suitable for the use you are putting the field to.

if i buy a "smallholding" or an equestrian centre am i allowed to cook/age garlic for resale?

and then would i be allowed to have holiday chalet/camping?

2. in neither case, if you buy a "small holding" is there a right to cook/age garlic for sale, nor to erect a holiday chalet or camping. You would have to seek planning permission in both instances, with you being at the mercy of your local authority or council as to whether you got planning or not. If you are thinking of buying a smallholding, you can speak to the local authority planning person about the issue of obtaining planning permission. They will give you a clear indication. However, just don't buy it on the basis you will get planning as there is no entitlement to it for either type of development.
