What’S The Difference Between A Holiday Let

[Nigs1]

What’s the difference between a holiday let and a dwelling. I’ve got a six acre piece of land planning for a barn which I’ve built as you would a house as no building regs required and planning permission to build a three bed house. I’m only allowed one house but could make the barn a holiday let if it’s not classed as a dwelling. Can you help please

If you've built a 'barn' without planning permission (irrespective of what it actually looks like or contains) then you can only use it for housing agricultural machinery, crops, fodder, etc (excluding livestock). If you use it for anything else it ceases to be a 'barn' and will require planning permission for 'change of use'.

Any house, holiday let, or dwelling however large or small, will require both planning permission and building regs.

this isnt a q about holiday lets and dwellings - about 6 weeks I think
( a holiday let is a contract - and I think there has to be a gap 6 w or something and cant be as long as a year. or not)

it is about what you do to make your barn into a dwelling.
If you have a bog in the barn then it isnt a barn IMO.
You need specialised advice from a Planning Agent. It quite possible that at the end of mucho mucho money he will say
'you cant - but you really knew that b/c you started off with a barn with the intention of building a house'

in fill building in a conservation area
everyone tries it as there is so much money to be made
