I have split my property and ground into separate plots, and sold my property in an acre of garden, but the other half is in 4 acres and has a log building on it which has a toilet and shower, 1 bedroom, kitchen and lounge...it's been there since I bought the main house some 20 years ago, it's not visible from any road. Question is, as I have been using it for the last 7 years during summer months ( arthritis stops me using stairs) and intermittently during winter (log burner heats water and radiators) can I carry on using it (own entrance from road).
nohting like doing first and then thinking about it later I think you need the services of a planning agent who will probably say you need to regularise things with the council ( which he will do but you pay) I wouldnt go to the council first for fear of getting one of those doo dah notices ( pull it down) - which is much more difficult to deal with than retrospective...
it would need to be declared a domiciliary address with local authority I think..and be subject to fit for purpose regs etc..as well as council tax....check with your council
