So probably it depends on the area you are considering and the local
view
on planning.
As suggested in the link, the best thing to do is talk to the planning
officer for the area.

Yes i rather thought that might be the answer, pity, a decent sized
garden
is really difficult to get nowadays without paying a lot of money!

Personally I would just do it, unless you've seriously upset a
neighbour who
is au fait with the rules and would dob you in, no one would have any
idea
you couldn't grow things on your paddock. Go for it, girl.

If it;s visible from the roadside, planning depts *will* spot it like
hawks . No point getting on their wrong side; its far better
IME to make an informal telephone call for their advice. They are
usually helpful.

Even grazing paddocks can qualify for windbreak hedging,
shelterbelts and drinking areas for future livestock; etc or
agricultural holdings can be discussed with a view to planting for
wildlife conservation.
or fruit production for your home preserves.


But what I'd like to know is at what point it becomes a "paddock" if it was
was a part of a huge garden and you decided to graze horses on it for a
while- then decided to go back to growing veg on it again?
