Of course people do DIY conveyance,
but like DIY car repairs, unless they know exactly what you're doing
and get it right first time, they can make a very dangerous and
expensive
mistake. As someone inexperienced you really. REALLY need to use your
own solicitor for this. The potential problems of
a badly worded conveyance, could blight your own property value.

ISTR you thought the solicitor might cost more than the land. That
makes me think, perhaps you have looked up the price of agricultural
land
locally and think that's what you'll be charged. Highly unlikely IME.
When selling "a bigger garden" to a private home owner, any farmer
knows full well he is selling a valuable domestic amenity which
will increase the value of your property by far more than the ag land
value, and he will call the tune accordingly; far over agricultural
rates. Also, HE's going to use a solicitor, and he's going to recoup
that
cost in the price he charges you. IOW, your own solicitors fee, is
likely to be a relatively small part of the entire costs.

and if Planning Permission can be applied to it at some time in time in the
future ............

Back nearly 40 years ago half of an acre of my garden was valued at £X00.00
Planning Permission applied to it and it became £X000.00.
