There does seem to be a general adversity by County Councils to one off rural development but people from rural area who simply do not want to live in a town and have a site on family land available to them to build a family home should be encouraged to take this route. There is already enough pressure on the housing system to provide houses for people and I think it should be made easier for these people to provide a house for themselves rather than have to depend on a local development and just so they can be close to the rest of their families who already live in the area where they grew up. I do wish to apply and hopefully gain planning permission soon and hope these guidelines won't have made it beyond my reach.
