    Meanwhile, AgriLand understands that throughout this year, and over the next 12 to 18 months, the rules will be inserted into county development plans and that, as a direct result, members of a landowner’s family will no longer be granted planning permission to build a house on the land.

    Basically, people who live outside of a certain distance of the village or town hub in their locality will not be granted planning permission to build on their own land,” continued Reilly, who also pointed to the environment and its role in these latest planning developments.

    Shameful if true. What counts as "very rural"? No mention of what the proposed radius would be?

    So the future has vacant farms around the country with free overnight access for thieves, while the owner is forced to sleep in a townhouse 5 miles away?

    I imagine there'll be an exemption for one child to build on the farm as the designated successor.

    Tbh a lot of people applied for planning around the local village and were refused, a cluster of houses now a few miles down the road with no facilities. If they want to have houses stay around villages the water and sewerage systems have to be there first which the council's are slow to do or just won't do. I don't mind the idea much tbh, assuming the person farming the land can build on it but the councils will have to have the facilities in place. From basic water, sewerage etc to playgrounds. No doubt they will wait on a developer to go for planning in a village and make them upgrade that as part of the planning instead of doing it themselves
