woodland planning.. well sort of..

[Boy English]

anyone got any idea of how planning would work on this?

 

been offered some woodland to get back in shape, in return use for yard, firewood production ect..

 

I have read and pretty much understand the permitted development side of things.. ie 28 days is fine whatever and with council / planning agreement a forestry worker can be there seasonally.. this as I understand is still a knightmare to get them to say ok..

 

question is in the wood there is a large pond.. if I float a boat around and stay in that .. not a houseboat as such but nearly there, with no mooring (as it requires planning) am I more likely to fit into a loophole??

 

just me throwing ideas around

No idea but I like how your mind works!

[Stubby]

Would you be , technically " of no fixed abode " then and would that affect anything ?

Build as many logs stores as you want, you could probably build a log cabin but never ever finish it. It is unlikely unless the locals are really up in arms that a caravan would have to move every 28days. Just keep things out of site and out if mind. Being a freeman tends to scare the bejesus out of planners.

Don't mention the firewood production as this is not considered forestry and will definately require planning.

You can put a caravan on it with no agro and stay there 28 days a year. Planning law states that when the 28 days are up you have to move the caravan, not 20ft but too a new site, if you want to keep living in it.

basically not to fussed about the no fixed abode bit..

 

I looked into it all a while back and it seemed like a no go, other than just seeing if you can get away with it..

 

this has a lake so I thought I would have another look but im pretty sure there going to count the fact there is something on the site I would be staying in for longer than 28days a development requiring planning

 

I have said it will continually move all the time just to try my luck

 

wander if anyones tried a house suspended from a blimp yet lol

Forgive me if this wrong as I only saw it on Grand Designs but in that episode making charcoal and forestry products means you have to be there all the time so the planning was easier but the house the bloke built has no value as it couldn't be sold.

Boats are a loophole but use an anchor to moor and a gang-plank to come ashore.
