Hi, just starting our self-build journey. We have an old 50's bungalow in the Brecon Beacons National Park which is in need of some serious refurbishment. Having discussed with a local architect & builder friend, it sounds as if we'd be better off knocking it down & building new!!! So, we've started investigating timber-framed houses etc. & getting slightly excited about the journey ahead.

LI see that Mr Gove is proposing an expansion of National Parks. The policy group is lead by one Julian Glover, who I think is a former Cameron assistant. This area is I think devolved so probably England only, and it seems to be related to turning AONBs into NPs. To my eye the big change will be a regionalisation of Planning Policy in the hands of NPs (small c conservative Nimbys?) away from local councils. I think it will affect middle england Cotswolds, Bucks etc, as the non-urban peripheries / North have National Parks coming out of our ears already. Currently NPs are iirc about 10% of England and AONBs 20%. What will the impact be? How does dealing with an NP compare to an LA? I expect this will be on Countryfile this Evening.
