I'd just like to start a discussion regarding this topic. In my area there is a big trend for couples as soon as they are angling to start a family and/or get married they automatically follow the fashion and eschew town living to instead living within 3 and 20 miles away from the town. This often involves getting planning permission on a site a doing a self-build but not always.
I'm always perplexed by this as I find town living so convenient not only for myself but also I'd imagine (even more so) for a family.
So I ask the question what are the advantages/disadvantages of moving away from town/in town, and what is your preference? Are there planning policies that influence your preference?
