[QUOTE="George from SJM Planning, post: 5223950, member: 16346"] Every week on Facebook I see wanted ads for a 'little piece of paradise' or x number of acres to make my home'. Every single one of them wants a piece of land away from society where they can build a house, lodge or site a mobile home. I feel like replying to every single one of them that it goes against the NPPF and most LDP's and whatever they build or site to live in will require planning permission which will in more than 90% of cases will be turned down. An unnamed Planning Officer said to me recently that smallholders are becoming more of a problem than gypsys/travellers. The majority of travellers have now realised that 'pulling on' is going against them (with a view to long term occupation) and are even doing pre-app's with Local Authorities to identify suitable sites! Smallholders on the other hand (I hate to tar all with the same brush as I have a small holding) feel that they can do as they like on their own land. Polytunnels, sheds, shepherd huts and even houses! [/QUOTE]
