I definitely think it has to be lifetime planning permission (which is what
I believe Ben Law got) and no mains services, so effectively eco building,
and no absolutely NO resale. Otherwise, we can all see where it's going. We
should be allowed to build for ourselves, for our own lifetime, for our own
peaceful purposes, a dwelling which will fade back into the land when we are
gone. Otherwise, can you just imagine what will happen to land prices (like
it hasn't already)
For that reason, sorry Roger, but I wouldn't sign the petition in its
current format - just my opinion obviously but do let me know if it is
amended at any point.
