> Hi SimonFairlie209,
>
> Another day, another young family is threatened with needless  
> eviction and the destruction of their home and the savings they  
> invested in it. But this one could be different...
>
>
>
> Literally right next door to the Lammas Ecovillage, Charlie &  
> Megan's stunning strawbale home, built in a corner of the family  
> farm, is easily the best example of it's kind I have ever seen.  
> Please watch this short video to meet Charlie and see what they  
> have created.

> Having grown up in the village and then like thousands of others,  
> finding the only permitted way to stay in their area, even with a  
> child, was to live in a freezing, damp caravan parked in the  
> garden, they took the plunge and built this masterpiece with help  
> from friends, neighbours, Lammas residents and volunteers.
>
> This is a young local family, trying to remain on their family  
> farm, right next door to the most famous low-impact development in  
> Britain, in what is hard to describe in words other than 'stunning'  
> and 'beautiful'. Even the officials sent to inspect the place were  
> overawed, exclaiming "You could win an award with this!".
>
> There has probably never been a better opportunity to show up the  
> planner's antisocial vandalism for what it is. Media friendly,  
> young local family and glossy photo opportunities galore. A perfect  
> way to show up the risible affordable housing policy, and  
> unjustifiable refusal to apply new TAN6 planning laws in practice.
>
> Please support their appeal by spreading the word, links to the  
> video and filling in the short appeal support form also available  
> with guidance from the Natural Homes website here:

>
> This has a deadline of 4 April 2013 - so please act NOW!
>
> Their victory would open the door to many others desperate to  
> provide comfortable, truly affordable homes for their own families.
