    Hi all

    Do any of you know what the rules are regarding planning permission for an underground home?

    Let's imagine I have a couple of acres of forestry land with no neighbours close by, and I wanted (as a hobby) to build one of these things in the middle of it.

    Would planning permission be necessary?

    Building a house as a hobby. Quite an expensive hobby.


    But yes, permission required. There no reason to treat it any different

    planning permission is necessary
    payment of development contributions necessary
    compliance with building regulations necessary
    compliance with health and safety requirements necesary

    not for the faint hearted!!!
