Owning a Woodland with the Family

- In this film, we visit the Morton family - Andy, Jane, and five-year-old Thomas - to ask how they use the woodland and what each of them loves most about being in their woods. With plenty of imagination and hard work, they've used the space and its abundant natural resources to create opportunities for a range of activities with different groups of people: building beautiful structures, shelters and a private family cabin for overnight stays; as a resource for forest school activities and running craft courses; using wood, water and clay from the land; being with friends and meeting other young families, and as a special place where they can simply be together, with everything they need to be comfortable away from home. What would you do with a woodland of your own? #woodlandownership #woodlands #nature

Beautiful. I've just bought a 4.25 acres wood in the Surrey Hills. My grown children are so excited to get started on our Forestry Commission plan to restore the wildlife 😁 🐝 🦉🦅🌿🛖🥀
How's it going?
Is Andy's brother the head of the local planning dept.? It's a bit misleading, please don't buy woodland thinking you can just start building cabins in the UK.
It's clearly not a permanent residence and off the grid energy wise. Not a problem for planning permission :)
@@cara4996 No, it is a problem, otherwise all forestry would be full of people in huts with no facilities or control, it has to be managed. Better management or more opportunity is fine but there have to be rules.
@@nautilus1872 And who says they aren't following the rules? :)
@@nautilus1872 how do you think people lived before?
@@Blank-km4qr it’s not about how people lived before, it is literally the law now. You need planning to build anything, even in woodland. And I’ve heard from a few different sources, it is quite difficult to get.
What a gorgeous place!!!! I wish I could take my kids to visit!
Really lovely to see . I just hope some slimy local parish councillor doesn't spoil it for them like one did to us and our woodland nieghbours. Even though he's got more land than any of us he still feels the need to interfear with our land which we own.
What happened? Did you have similar structures and were you forced to remove them?
Awesome. Would love that.
Just found your channel. This is a delightful video.
love it
that clay oven is awesome! to think we could cook are food and warm are house with sticks and clay from the forest for free!
Enjoyed the video thanks. Being over 10 acres of woodland and that they run woodland courses I suspect they are able to put up temporary wooden structures that helps towards their goal of sharing the wonderful place they are fortunate to steward while they own it.
Technically they would still need planning for each one, regardless of whether it was temporary - I would really love to know how they got that as it would be something I would be keen to do in my own patch.
@@notyrpapa you don’t need planning permission for a forestry shelter for working and storage ,you can stay there for 28 day that’s not permanent .
😂 haaaaaaa he did put a smile on my face , he is like a miniature Superman jumping around, sweet close family 😊
Amazing I wanna do the same thing when I’m older
Awsome! Just wondering if it was easy enough to obtain P permission for the log cabin with a wood burner?
I don't think they did
Love the drying wood play house :)
InstaBlaster...
How did you get over the planning issues for the shelter?
it would be nice to own a woodland!
i considering buying a small wood with my savings .. the thought of some local authority dictating to me what i can do with it is depressing
Howd they get planning for all that ?
For what, a small house on private land? What about that would be difficult?
@@Theorimlig do you know anything about UK planning laws ? Even if its your land you can't build anything without planning permission. And its extremely rare any council will give you permission to build any permanent dwelling. The most your allowed to do is spend 28 nights per calender year overnight on your own land, stupid but thats the law sadly.
@@panz3r696 That seems strange, is building your own home really uncommon there? Here in Sweden you need planning permission too of course, but it's not that much of a problem.
@@Theorimlig yes and no, land is classified into categories, if its a built up area and classes as residential land its not too hard of a process. If its forest or woodland its almost impossible to get planning permission for a structure you intend to live in
@@panz3r696 I see! I suppose that comes with having much less forest than my country, the UK wants to preserve the few woodlands that remain there. Here it is the most abundant type of land, covering about two thirds of the area of Sweden. :)
Its almost as if the english peoples need to reclaim their homeland bit by bit. Germany had a similar idea a few years ago.
All of the people moaning about planning permission were clearly snitches in school. They’ve built a non-permanent structure in their own woodland. What person from the council would ever find them? Get a grip.
Sustainable resources - volunteers. Cheap, and it's free, and You don't have to pay for it, on top of that no money spent 🤣
I'll buy woodland when i'm allowed to do what i like with it. Until then you're simply paying for the privilege of being able to rent it from the government.
Woodlands should be shared with everyone not held in private
There are plenty of free woodland for you peasants
They are, just go there without buying them.
Plenty of public parks around
This is unf somewhat of a bad idea, 30% of Britain needs to be wilderness and national forest for all without squatters building huts inside
But they own the land and have paid for it.
