Renovation of a derelict building - Rural Area under Strong Urban Influence

    Hi all,
    I plan on buying a plot of land with a derelict building on it. From what I can see it was once a 2 story house, currently there are doors and window openings downstairs and windows with old window frames upstairs, there is no chimney though. Later in its life journey the downstairs was converted into a stable and the upstairs was left to fall apart.
    The building is in an area classed as "Rural Area under Strong Urban Influence" but I am not from the area so planning will be difficult or maybe impossible.
    Assuming I cannot prove that the building was a previous dwelling is there any hope of getting planning permission for the renovation? The building structure and roof look very in tact at present but if its left for a few more years the roof will collapse and it will be an eye sore....
    If anyone has any past experience with a similar scenario and can share any useful info it would be highly appreciated.
    Regards,
    AK
