Thanks for your reply. please would you be able to clarify why would I need planning permission. The regulations state that permission is not required if the building is less than 25 sq m?Yes, you need planning permission.
You can get electricity supply without planning.
You cannot install a septic tank without planning.
For an extension maybe, where you're already living in a place. If you're going to put up a new building to live in, with all the services supplied, i'd imagine PP is needed regardless of size.Thanks for your reply. please would you be able to clarify why would I need planning permission.

Where exactly does it state that?The regulations state that permission is not required if the building is less than 25 sq m?
I believe you are mistaking the exemption for a non-habitable shed. But that exemption only applies on a site with a fully authorised dwelling house and some other restrictions apply.Thanks for your reply. please would you be able to clarify why would I need planning permission.

What you are proposing is illegal. Even if you want to occasionally stay in a caravan on a piece of land you require planning. I know a guy who used to live in a small log cabin in a remote area. Got away with it for a few years, but ended up costing him a lot of money in fines and removing it all and returning the site to original state.Thanks to everyone. We are not really planning to connect to any services, I was just curios about the electricity. We would like to use it for camping from time to time, we will have probably compost toilet and generator for electricity.
Not only that, but you can also make it very difficult for yourself to ever get planning permission on the site in future.Got away with it for a few years, but ended up costing him a lot of money in fines and removing it all and returning the site to original state.
thanks for your reply...however, I am a bit confused as to what is illegal- to use our own land as wild camping for my kids? Probably I misunderstood you.I believe you are mistaking the exemption for a non-habitable shed.

You can camp in a temporary tent on your own land. you can not erect any kind of building or structure to stay in on you own land without obtaining planning permission.thanks for your reply...however, I am a bit confused as to what is illegal- to use our own land as wild camping for my kids?

There are exemptions (again with restrictions) available for the erection of sheds on an active farm for ancillary use as part of the farm. That certainly isn't what you've asked about here.what if I want to have a small shed to use as a storage and sleep in a tent? Would that be illegal too?
I am getting really confused with the planning rules. The site is currently covered with bushes, weeds, lots of small trees, would I need a planning permission to clear out the weeds and bushes and just leave the bigger trees, to keep the wild look? Many thanks again.
You specifically asked about building a log cabin, not camping in a tent.
Its illegal for you to build a log cabin without planning permission.
Carbon monoxide & dioxide problems don't tend to need a lot of emergency services access...you're dealing with death or respiratory issues there.There is access for emergencies which is one of the only concerns I would have,
Where is the carbon monoxide coming from?Carbon monoxide & dioxide problems don't tend to need a lot of emergency services access...you're dealing with death or respiratory issues there.
People often put small stoves in these as a heat source.Where is the carbon monoxide coming from?
Sure same would apply to having a stove in any house, need to have the detectors and ventilation etc.People often put small stoves in these as a heat source.
