What do you think my chances are?

Two chances really: slim and none. Current planning guidance from

central
government is that there should be no new development outside the
development limits or in open country. Go and take a look at the local

plan
for details that is available at your local council offices.


Good advice. And also don't forget Capital Gains Tax. If you build this
additional house and sell one of them you'll have to pay 40% of the

proceeds to
IR.


40% maximum, there are ways of reducing that


Please explain
