IVE SEEN THe type i like its 3000 so will take 12 months of hard saving xx

lol lol, and thanks badger, yes they are being used quite a lot in schools , hope it takes off u never know the men may start hunting for tea too xx

It's the mongol hordes, whatever they might be, that really would worry them. All that sacking and marauding!

So there is no need to worry about it yurt a while.but it does sound interesting.
As far as i am aware ,a yurt is not classed as a permanent structure and you do not have to get permission to erect it ,and anyway ,you can always shift it a few metres once in a while to get round any problems.
Sounds like a really interesting project ,but i hope you don't go too far ,lol,the council may object if yaks suddenly appear on your land Fred. :-)

The primary school next door has just built a roundhouse out of wattle and daub. Dunno why.

OK YOU HAVE ALL NOTED WHAT SUSAN NZ HAS PUT LOL :-P

ahh shame he couldnt plead with the council ateotd its eco, he could compost his doodies buy a water filter , get some solar pannels, the council want us to cut down our carbon foot print and refuse people to live practically of the grid, guess they would loose to much money if we all did it. xx
just thought bet if he told them school children on a organised school trip could visit eco living ot would be a different matter,
dizzie, do u want me to do some personal delving ive quite a few contacts now that have been really helpfull.

OUR FRIEND CANT GET IT CHANGED,ONLY IF THERE HAD BEEN A PREVIOUS STRUCTURE AND IT CAN ONLY BE THE EXACT SAME SIZE,BUT STILL NOT ALLOWED TO LIVE IN AND IF STAFF IT GETS COMPLICATED RE LOOS RUNNING WATER

yes penny luckily he has but if you can show that your not in it more than 28days in a row there are a few loop holes.

thats sad dizzi, yes he would have tonchange the land to residentiol, but the farmer is allowed to let staff live on the farm.

WE HAVE A FRIEND IN SOMERSET WHO OWNS FOUR AND A HALF ACRES OF LAND,HE WANTS TO BECOME SELF SUFFICIANT BUT IT IS
AGRICULTURE LAND,PART FARMLAND AND IS NOT ALLOWED TO LIVE ON IT MORE THAN A FEW NIGHTS A YEAR,HE HAS NO LOO,NO WATER SUPLY EX FFOR RIVER (UNDRINKABLE) ,NOT ALLOWED ANY STRUCTURES WE CAMP THERE BUT ONLY ALLOWED WEEKENDS IN RETURN FOR HELPING CLEAR LAND,

Do you have to get planning permission, like you would for a caravan?
