Chances of getting planning permission.......

.....to build a log cabin in a woodland?


Just curious....

Thanks

the dirt.

Entirely depends on the cabin and where the wood is.

[Merc fan]

Totally dependent on circumstances. Tell us more! Sounds interesting!

[NDA]

This kind of thing?

[elster]

Is it just one log cabin?

You may find it easier for a static caravan. Or maybe a log cabin on a rolling chassis?

It should be fairly simple, dependant on what the area is.

Friend of mine does this for a living, but on a bit larger scale than 1 wood hut.

You'd normally only have a hope if you can show a good reason for needing to live there, looking after the woodland, feeding the starving squirels etc.

Dirty boys never get planning permission.....

Not really that interesting...

There's 2 1/2 acres of woodland for sale near me for £20k.

I was just curious as to whether I could possibly plonk a 3 bed log cabin on the site that's all.

Because it's not a permanent structure (although it'd be pretty robust) I wondered whether that had any impact.

Basically, I think I could get a decent sized home on a decent sized plot for well under 100k

No idea what i'd do about water, sewerage or electric though

On second thoughts it's a crap idea....

If you want to live there, you would have to demonstrate that it was necessary to sustain an agricuturally-based lifestyle - caring for sheep etc. As it's such a small area of woodland, the only thing you'd be likely to get away with is keeping free-range chickens, and the problem there is that you'd hsve to demonstrate that the chicken business both formed your primary source of income and required your presence 24 hours a day.

Building a log cabin is great fun, I'm putting one up at the moment, but to get the permission we had to swear blind we aren't going to live there.

You could use it as temporary accomodation.

Interesting, thanks.

Looks as though i'll just have to buy a bigger wood. Always fancied keeping a couple of pigs, few sheep, goats and some chickens and a vegetable patch

Hog roasts in the summer

Fresh eggs for brekkie

Slow cooked lamb shanks

Fresh milk

Fresh milk

Have you ever tried milk straight from a cow? Not straight from as in sucking its tit, but as in freshly milked milk.

Not from a cow.

It had also been chilled, but essentially hours fresh.

My family in Ireland have a dairy farm and gave us some to try, it's bloody horrible. My cousin who runs the farm can't even drink it without putting Crusha milkshake stuff in it.
