In England you may well struggle...N Ireland no idea..probably best to simply ask your firearms dept for their opinion!

as above but you mite get granted it if the land is hilly and thre are lots of save shots to be had.

i would get out and start knocking on the farm doors to get some permission. that way you can add that at the same time

So long as the firearm officer deems the land safe to shoot.(i.e you have adequate backstop for the calibre rifle you want to use).

My first bit of permission was on 4 acres of land but had good backstop so my permission was granted for a .22lr and a .223 rem.

Now that's the way it should be..forget the size and look at the topography...but I have to say round my way you would not stand and ice cube in hell chance of getting a .22LR and a .223Rem on 4 acres even if the backstop was a sheer rock face!!
