What do you reckon would be the absolute minimum cost of a dwelling permanent enough to live in? More than a yurt, but I was thinking maybe something wooden of some description.
I'm not making crazy plans (currently) I was just curious.
Do you own the land with permission? Biggest cost by far.
just build a yurt Mo..
The question was raised in my mind by cycling past a nice plot of land that said it had permission.
I was thinking some kind of Amazonian style long house..
that's made me chuckle.. ace idea! 😀

why more than a yurt..?
yurts are the bom diggy
permission or persimmon?

Amazonian style? FFS! Show a bit of pride in your country's history: go Viking. Proper long houses, and designed for feasting, ale and wenches. And it'll blend in to the countryside better:

There you go.
For local heritage I might go for a Celtic roundhouse. Or several interconnected ones 🙂
Have you seen these Welsh permanent yurt home pics before..?

Good point, forgotten you were in Wales. Not many Vikings there.
And those welsh yurts are horrible, really ugly. I'm sure they're snug and warm and all that, but...

Roundhouse you say? See if they'll rent you [url= http://www.marthrownofmabie.com/marthrown-roundhouse-c3.html ]this[/url] long term, fantastic place (we stayed there a couple of years ago) and the added bonus that you can ride to the Mabie red in about 3 minutes.
The point is something cheap to build. I'm assuming even a well built round/long house would come in at significantly less than the £100k mark.
Convincing the inspected might be a different matter though.
Well quite.. but surely wooden houses must be acceptable in theory?
Its not the wooden aspect, I'm thinking about its the ungraded round timer. I'm sure its all strong enough but how does the build regs deal with that? Are there EN codes for raw wooden trunks / poles?
Build a shotgun house.
