Meet Eddie, the lad from Liverpool, and the owner of Mellowcroft, a stunning smallholding in Mid Wales. Eddie is a fantastic character who has created a life on some beautiful forest land, as well as a hub for creative minds to get together.
The land has a number of different buildings and areas that are all built by Eddie himself, including his home that is built off the back of a lorry! He used only reclaimed materials, even his kitchen was out of skip!

In this video, Eddie tells us the story of his long battle with the council over his land, he was served enforcement notices to leave, had a battle in court, and ended up in jail!
Eddie can now do what he wants on his own land, and the council and police have backed off as a result of a twist in the story... find out more in the video!

A big thanks to Eddie, who shared his story so openly, and let us stay the night and enjoy some music around the campfire.

The only sad part is that the most the people post this videos about off grid living the more the governments will think of a way to eliminate them. They need slaves and this kind of liberation isn’t good business.
Congratulations on your free life friend. I like your positivity a lot.

Why can't they just leave people alone! It's ridiculous that these sociopaths feel the need to have to control other people. Just F off, and let people live their life. Another example of how a corporate company bribed corrupt city officials. Human beings are the worst.

In the US county were I lived and remodeled, we had a term “coverage” you can pretty much remodel as long as you don’t exceed the original building footprint or “coverage. Sometimes called “grandfathered rights” or an addition was “grandfathered in”. Congratulations you have a beautiful home on a beautiful piece of land.

The current UK planning laws were invented to stop people exactly like him, living in old railway carriages etc, after WW2 when thousands of people lost their homes. Even Wales, which so say "encourages" off-grid living, has strict regulations around it. I admire him for being wiling to keep fighting the bureaucracy.

"it ONLY mattered" when YOU had something (the land) that theyp wanted & that they were wiling to break the law in order to claim it & to ruin your life & enrich theirs.. the epidemy of a gaggle of assholes that stink to high heaven.
God bless ya in yoyr fight.. you gave tgem a run for their money & in the end.. YOU shut them up.. & but, for good.. & good for you!
Very nice peaceful place with creatuveness & one day will brung a prwtty penny cuz, its a place with character that many would love to own for themselves.. just like me & my place.. I'm thunking of a special sojeine who qualifies to be tge tyoe of person who will appreciate & continue to groom the land & protect its induvidualality that the place exudes & has inherited from my character.. & one day I pray I can find that right kind of person who will cherish this inheritance of my property cuz, I win't live forever.. & neither will yoursekf so, be thinkin' who you can leave it to when you afe gone.. so, these magnificent creations we created will live on & on...

Good for you man.. show them fuckin' bastards & their nosey ""in- yur- business"" dick heads that you are gonna do what your gonna do & live as a free man bothering no one is your GOD given right & freedom.
We got the same shit goin' on here in the United States & I am living off grid & building a nice cottage but, without the expensive amenities that break the bank each month.. no Wi-Fi, electricity, home phone, gas, water & heat bills to pay.. just my raw earnings & a cell phone, side line heat & a lantern with an outhouse is all I need right now & so far I'm doin' okay.. some days are harder than others but, I survive & got extra money to actually pay for the materials as I go & build my small place into more if a home with added space & OWN it outright!
So far, GOD has blessed me with no body harassing me about permits & other extortion by mandating fees & other nonsense bullshit permits & fees & licenses in order to build, live, eat & shit without them benefiting or, rapung me of my hard earned money.. so, I pray 2024 brings more prosperity & success in accomplishing my own little paradise. & Castle.. so, bless you too buddy & job well done!
Merry Christmas 2023🌲

They have a phrase for land theft here in the states - Imminent Domain (said with a sneer). Like in your case, Eddie, the government wants to build an expressway, Oh, look here, Wal Mart wants to build a new store selling loads of junk. Government swoops in, you get a letter in the mail, next thing you know, your home gets cut in two, or survey markers right off your front porch, through your vegetable garden (that feeds your family), they do Not care, only care about what they will get out of it. There's a special level in Hades . . .
