    Hey, wondering if somebody can clear something up, I was told, though I'm a bit sceptical, that if you own land you can build a log or timber house on it without planning permission??

    is this true?

    No.

    The Planning Acts look at the use of land as well as any structures, so in this case, building a house would comprise two changes (a) from open land to residential and (b) from no building to having a building.
