As I'm sure most of you have seen in the news recently, the couple who were living in their 'garage' which was a concealed house and a few years ago, the guy who built a castle and hid it under hay bales.... It got me thinking and doing research!
I then found a family who had built a house in woodland but were allowed to stay as they didn't conceal their building and engaged with the community. They just want a nice house and as nobody noticed for over 4 years, I think this is fine.
So from a moral perspective, if someone is dishonest or intentionally plans to mislead someone, they get punished..... This seems reasonable!
My question is (and yes I'm fully aware of moral implications and breach of planning etc), that I've been a long term advocate of underground housing, from a cost, lifestyle and sustainability angle...... Plus I just want one!! Clearly as it is underground, it will be almost impossible to see, but as it is hard to see, by design.... I won't have intentionality concealed it, even though I'm conscious it will be effectively concealed!!
So provided, all I want is a nice underground house, on my own land, which shouldn't annoy the neighbors as they won't even see it (and depending on depth, the area could remain effectively untouched....
What are people's thoughts?
