The hobbit house can stay | Construction and DIY projects | Forums

the hobbit house has been going around for years as a great example of a low impact owner built dwelling, the local government has been threatening to have it demolished because they didn't have the correct permits, looks like that has come to an end

A beautiful “hobbit house” threatened with being torn down, and subsequently winning the support of more than 100,000 people across the world, has at last been told it can stay.

The couple who built it, as an alternative to the damp caravan they were living in, spent more than three years fighting against the demolition of their distinctive home in Pembrokeshire.

But the couple have now been told that planning inspector Kay Sheffield has allowed their appeal and that the house has finally been granted planning consent.
