Where is your title to this site?My parents have recently informed me that they had done the legal work on getting a site on their land signed over to me, should I ever want to do a self build.

The first sentence only seems to make sense in relation to preparatory work for you to receive the land either as a gift in love and affection, a transfer of land in sale or as an inheritance.My parents have recently informed me that they had done the legal work on getting a site on their land signed over to me, should I ever want to do a self build.
I think that this may happen in the next few years, but I waswondering if there will be any sort of fee to pay for this 'gift' if I ever put in for planning permission, or will it just be the planning charge?
If there are any other fees/charges I will come across, I would appreciate any advice please.
I got my site with a similar 'wish' from my Dad that I don't ever sell it. I own the site outright though and my mother told me to whatever I want with it. I had to go to the solictor to sign for it, there was a fee of a couple of hundred euro for this. You don't seem to have done that. Is there any reason why?Something to add, the house will not be sold on in the future, ever !!!
The land will never leave the family, thats part of the deal.

Oh dear. One of those. What is it with people 'giving' children land never to be sold on. If you give you give, people shouldn't be trying to tie their children to the land or a certain place as a child may find a better path in life and should have the freedom to do so.
Once you own the site they can't prevent you from selling it. But you can promise never to sell it if it keeps your parents happy.
Right now you don't appear to own anything. I know of many similar situations (a promise of a site) with a brother in law and husband and it's now 20 or 30 years. In my husband's case it's not going to happen as said parent is dead and with brother in law they are all fighting so he's given up.
The correct order to do things is that a site is transferred to you, this has to be done by a solicitor. It's a legal transfer of the title from your parents of that portion of the land to you. All taxes due at that stage should be paid, if it's for a house normally less than 1 acre it will not attact any taxes, your family solicitor should be able to advice you on avoiding the taxes. When you own the site you apply in your name for planning. Then you build your house. On no account build a house on a site that your parents says is your and is not transferred to you. No one ever ever should do this.
But for now, the house will be mine and built on my land.
My situation seems to be baffling a few !
Basically if I was to build on this site then I would be on the family farm, and in very close proximity to all my siblings who have also build on our farm land.
