Sounds like a great project would like to know more (in layman's terms haha). Take it there is not a plan to do anything in the UK? Where about are you? I would love to get out of here soon. I want to set up a mental health center using earthship buildings and holistic therapies 💯🐒

I'm certainly going to keep tabs on this.

I'm in the UK - not worth trying to build an earth ship here, the planning system is too anti. Better off abroad.

The whole mental health project sounds great!

I'm currently in Hereford.

I think the easiest way of doing the whole eco-village thing here is just to head to Wales and basically copy what Lamas did (excuse spelling there, I can never remember how many Ms or Ss!)

Where abouts are you?

Lived in Hereford for a brief time on 09/10 nice spot. Yes I've seen there idea however you spell it. The rules are ridiculous here I agree and it's tricky. But I want to find a way to do it and expose the loop holes and get people on board to the idea here 💯🐒

I don't think there are many loopholes! You build something in England without proper planning permission, and eventually you'll end up being forced by the local council to pay to demolish it!

All it takes is one conservative dog walker to dob you in, and there's millions of those in England!

My farther has done a lot of work with planning permission for sustainable eco villages / properties, he's had some success with a few places in the south west. I hope to use him and get some sounds advice 💯🐒

Well that's some good news!

And the SW does sound familiar as an eco-friendly area.

For me, abroad sounds much better. TBH I'm in this for the people/ quality of life/ low cost of living elements as much as the sustainability.
