4 yrs for a dwelling, 10 for other uses (England).
I have a letter from the Secretary of state that says that the curtiledage of the house is the boundary of the garden not the old wording "an area of land that is necessary for the enjoyment of the property" but goes on to say that development at the rear of the property can be treated by the Local Authority as open countryside in planning terms.you need to find out the `curtiledge` of the dwelling house,this is the garden and stables are allowed in the garden as incidental to enjoyment of the property.if a house comes with a paddock,often the paddock is not classes as curtiledge only the garden is.
you have more right to build things in a garden.
it is all available to read in the town and country planning act,just a matter of trawling through it all.
