>>1410603>Even if the situation arose it would take the council 1-2 years to write to you/ court summons then you may receive a small fine at the most.Intent is the only thing that matters, if you only owned a few acres it might even be visible from some place outside of your land. I don't believe for a second you can get out of building an illegal residence just because you'd be tresspassing if you reported it
What happened to right to roam?
>In England and Wales, after a polarised debate about the merits, rights and benefits of private landowners and public recreation, in 2000 the Government legislated to introduce a limited right to roam, without compensation for landowners. The Countryside and Rights of Way Act 2000 (CROW) was gradually implemented from 2000 onwards to give the general public the conditional right to walk in certain areas of the English and Welsh countryside: principally downland, moorland, heathland and coastal land. Forests and woodlands are excluded, other than publicly owned forests, which have a similar right of access by virtue of a voluntary dedication made by the Forestry Commission.>Forests and woodlands are excluded, Hang on a second, you can buy a few acres of woodland, build a cabin, live in it, plant crops wherever possible (sustainable methods no chopping of trees) and you'll never face punishment even though its illegal? Even if a random dog walker or jogger or walker or even warden report you to the council? They won't be able to report you due to the fact that they're tresspassing in your woods or if they do you'd only get a small fine? What if the original owners found out you broke the covenant?
Big if true, this is incredible
