As above, contact the local planning office & discuss with them but you will need to get plans drawn up by an architect before applying.

Have a chat with the people over the road & see if it is exactly what you want, see if they still have plans & if a copy would suffice, or if their architect was a good one & the costs etc.

Shop around & get several quotes, but dot just go with the cheapest, especially if its from a Pole.
(some can do good work but I certainly would have one on a project this big).

This is going to cost big time, As far as I know somewhere between 30-40k.

You have several years to get it started once planning is approved.
