Petition Give self-build homes for smallholding purposes permitted development rights

Amend planning legislation and policy so that a self-build house on your own land, for the purpose of starting a small holding or homestead, is automatically allowed. Even if that be for hobby purposes & not business. As long as it does not cause harm, injury or loss to a man/woman.

More details

Planning legislation and policy is out of date, not fit for purpose, overly controlling and in favour of large developers and not the average man/woman. Land used for smallholdings/homesteads produce their own food on site and care for the environment which is sustainable. The people require the Government to amend planning policy and legislation to recognise the people's innate freedom to build their own house of any material they see fit on their own land, as was the customs & tradition of our ancestors for generations.
