The One Planet Development policy in Wales has everyone chomping at the bit to buy land and live the sustainable life that they've always wanted. But how possible is it to achieve? What are the pitfalls? What happens if you're refused? This book describes the epic fight between a lone, local woman and Pembrokeshire County Council; follows the procedure, examines the process, admits the mistakes, clears the air. The entire planning process is broken down and shown for the impossible dream that it seems to be. Budget a lot of your life and a big wedge of cash and maybe, just maybe, you'll be successful. But when even the approved applications experience their fair share of nervous breakdowns the author asks, is it worth it? Should you believe the hype and become one of those brave pioneers? Potential applicants may want to read this book before heading for the hills....
