Bulls**t!
I know there are a couple of sites in Essex where people pay but you could probably find the same in any county if you look hard enough.
You need to look outside the box. If you're just going to look at farms and golf courses then of course you're competing with the many. Permissions can sometimes come unexpectantly from the least likely source. If competition is strong, try harder. Think small nurseries or maybe a few allotments. You know what's in your area better than I but a defeatist attitude is going to scupper your chances before you've even started. I promise you that once you put the work in and get one permission more will follow.
