Why buy land in Cumbria
Cumbria is grass and livestock country. 89% of its farmed land is grass, across 5,117 commercial holdings running about 420,000 cattle and 1,860,000 sheep. For land that means grazing to let or take nearby, working livestock markets, and neighbours who farm.
Lake District National Park, Yorkshire Dales National Park, the Arnside and Silverdale National Landscape, the North Pennines National Landscape, and the Solway Coast National Landscape protect a large part of Cumbria, which keeps the countryside you are buying into as it is. Building or converting inside a protected landscape needs more care, and inside a National Park the park authority, not the council, decides planning.
Planning is decided by 2 councils in Cumbria (Cumberland and Westmorland and Furness), so rules on agricultural occupancy conditions and barn conversions vary by district. Our guides cover what to check before you offer.

- Can I build on or live on land in Cumbria?
- It depends on planning.

Building or converting inside a protected landscape needs more care, and inside a National Park the park authority, not the council, decides planning. Our guides cover what agricultural permitted development allows and when you need full permission.
