A Home in the Country!?!?

You would have thought that it would have been legal and quite possobly a SANE decision to want to build a new house on land you own in the country!! Seems that it's not so simple!

We applied for planning permission in March 09 to get a replacement dwelling on this site. The planners want to turn us down as there are only 3 walls substancially intact. CRAP! We have proof that it was a house from 1897-1964 but this is doesn't seem to matter. We met with them this morning to try and convince them to let us have permission. We don't feel that hopeful and we'll have to wait another few months to find out their final decision.

We really want to be country but their is nothing else we can do. We will have to leave it in God's hands.

This is a few pics of the farm we want to live on. It's all surrounded by trees and absolutely lovely!
