Huts in Woods ( an opportunity?)

[Wulbert]

With all respect to those who express concern about yurts, raves and fairy lights etc in woodland, this is a well-developed, thoughtful movement that has been working for 10 years to bring back a once-commonplace and highly sustainable practice.  Having a small, wooden, low-impact family hut is normal and ordinary for most other North European countries. I think it shows how disconnected we have become from the land when we see the countryside as only for animals and wildlife but not humans.   Please have a look at the web site and perhaps it will change your pre-conceptions about what this movement is trying to achieve: https://www.thousandhuts.org/buildingregulationsforhuts

British "Woodland" is largely poorly diverse regen twonk.

 

99% of the Woodland I ever worked in should have been bulldozed into windrows and burnt .

 

Who cares if a bunch of hippy wankers pitch a tent every bank holiday or some yuppies buy a yurt? The ground they are using was probably a cow pasture in the 16th century.

As Wulbert points out,

The laws around "bothies"

are completely different in Scotland.

In England however there are ways of living in the woods all year round.

Legally.

It's just the legislation is rather obscure and mainly forgotten.

(Which helps keep the fairy light brigade part time).
