How We Went Off-Grid -

A young couple battle for planning permission to live off-grid in a national park, in their self-built home, with solar power, composting loo and rainwater harvesting. Despite concerted opposition from neighbours and lawyers, they manage to get permission to live on GBP26,000 a year, selling eggs and honey. Readers would substitute the areas they want to enjoy for the bee-keeping and chicken-rearing the Watkinsons chose. All documents submitted by the authors in their successful application to Pembrokeshire National Park planning authority are included in this book.
