Inspirational, but just a primer, 18 Mar 2010
This review is from: Field to Farm (Paperback)
As far as it goes, this is ok.
But you get the feeling that when the author describes suitable rural enterprises, he hasn't really experienced what he's talking about.
It's slim and over-priced.
Best desribed as a primer, you'll need either the author or a planning consultant, or many hours self-study to be able to defend yourself against the inevitable challenges from the local planning authority.
Is it really possible to live in a field and over time get planning permission to legally build a permanent home ?
Sure. But you need to be determined, live with the worry and doubt that in the end you might fail if the 'experts' in your LPA decide you haven't met the 'tests' of essential need etc.
With about 3 times as much detail, including real-life case studies, this would be a good book.
At the moment, it's more of a introductory booklet.

INVALUABLE ADVICE WITH ONLINE BACKUP, 27 Feb 2010
This review is from: Field to Farm (Paperback)
Wilst there is no doubt this book is expensive relative to size I took a chance and was not disappointed. It contains information that would require lenghty research even if you knew what you were looking for. On top of this the author answers your questions in the online forum. If this idea appeals to you buy the book and join his online community it will be money well spent.

A bit light, 12 May 2010
This review is from: Field to Farm (Paperback)
Hoped for so much more from this book, there is a lot of cut and paste from Real Small holding so it's a thin volume, both books combined would be worth the money but it's a very expensive read on it's own
