    The Local Authorities have NO reason to make the demand to leave. I agree completely with what is said we have human rights and authority should only be necessary when there is cause to use it !!!

    This isn't what planning policy should be concerned about. How about stopping developers burying our countryside in identical boring, square box, housing estate homes instead? Leave em' be, they aren't doing anyone any harm!

    You can't pick and choose who planning laws apply to. The fact is, ALL planning legislation should be scrapped, since it infers that if people need 'permission' to do things to their own property, then people don't own their own property, and that it somehow belongs to the government.... You wouldn't need to worry about big developers at all. If they were allowed to do whatever they wanted, there would be many more homes, and due to supply and demand, there would be far less incentive to build. It's a self organising system that shouldn't be interfered with. The main thing driving up housing prices is restrictions made by the government on what can be built. The main incentive to build is high housing prices.

    It's purely because big developers have money to pay people everything is about how much money they government can get from it, hopefully in this case the government decide they can't be bothered to spend money on moving these people and they just get left alone

    My dad went through an incredibly long and challenging process to build his own home in the UK. He built a round house from locally sourced materials which took him about 7 years and two high court visits to get permission for. In the meantime you can build a multi story concrete eye-sore where ever you like - even on flood plains. The reason the government don't like what these people are doing is that they can't profit from it. It's really terrible.

Children as bullies grew up and became adult bullies. We have so many bullies who enjoy their meanness. Im 62. I live in the States in the state of Maryland. I bought a “ tear down” 75 year old wood bungalow. I surprised everyone- I moved right in. Still here. My home isn’t beautiful or trendy or artistic or anything….. but it’s my quiet little nest. I applaud a person’s efforts to challenge the bully. 💗🌻🌿💗

    Yes, Salomediscs, one should endeavour to only burn seasoned wood but all woods smoke, to lesser or greater extents, even if seasoned for centuries ( I am have been a carpenter for over 30 years and, having worked on the conservation of a number of historic buildings, have been blessed with some very well seasoned, ancient off-cuts to burn) . There are many factors, as well as seasoning and specie, that affect how much burning wood smokes - on an open fire even the level of atmospheric humidity can make a difference and in this instance, when the film was made the conditions were clearly very humid and therefore more smoke would be produced than during a spell of very dry weather.
