Round our way it usually goes up for sale just like houses, certain agents specialise in it though

Budget is not a lot for shrops (don't think so anyway), also you'll need to speak to the local council to see where they stand on temporary shelter.

Not loads really, they're unlikely to agree to any kind of construction, temporary or permanent (incl polytunnels in our area) so you really need to find out first.

Of course there are people that just move in and start living there, just found out one of our neighbours did that, built a little place (no permission) no one objected, 9 yrs later they sold up.

There are some shrops locals about here, hopefully one of them'll have a better idea.

Herefordshire, next county down. 3 acres went for £15,500 this summer, near us. 4.5 acres for £21,100. Larger plot had water, smaller didn't, and both have road access and are liable to (partial) flooding. Just a price guide.

Believe me I speak from bitter experience you wont get anythin g for 10,000 in South Shropshire.
We went to an auction recently, looking at 1.8 acres on a nasty busy A road crossroads and it went for 32,000.
We've been looking to do exactly the same thing as you for a couple of years now, it ain't easy.
Best of luck

have a look at primelocation.co.uk, under farms, estates and land - good for window shopping and getting an idea.

I come from South Shrops, although I don’t live there now.
In my opinion, If you’ve got £10,000 head a few miles further west, over the border. Most of my friends who I grew up with in Shropshire are now living in Wales, having been pushed westward by wealthy incomers. I can’t afford to move back to where I grew up You cant get a brick sh*t house for under £100,000.
And the local development plan basically says “no development outside pre-exisiting development”
Head towards Welshpool, some nice land around there. Good people too.

For that area of land you will get caught by the fact that the smaller the land area the higher the price per acre. Ag. land typically goes for about 3-5k per acre, but for 1-3 acres don't be surprised if its going for 10k+ per acre. Also if there is the slightest possibility of putting anything even as residential as a yurt there the price will promptly go up again.

I was told (by my local planning office) that if a building is there for more than three months it counts as a permanent structure and is bound by planning permission regulations. Dunno if you could get around it by moving the yurt by 20 feet or so every couple of months.
