Unlicensed Grass Airfield

I'm just wondering if anyone has any useful data regarding setting up an unlicensed grass airfield (in the UK)? I've studied CAP428 which has some good information in it; it recommends that the strip should be 18 metres wide but does not quote a suitable width either side of this (run-off area). I would guess that for safety at least 30 metres would be required. Is there any official figures for this area and is it called the visual strip??
Please only reference to some legal requirement required.....
