Funny news story. People trying to avoid planning consent had built a house inside a barn (or built a barn outside a house). An anonymous person sent a map to the council with "house in barn" and an arrow pointing to map. Feel a bit sorry for the people as they run an animal sanctuary on the land. They were probably trying to live there 12 years unnoticed.

Apparently it wouldn't have worked anyway as the law was changed to exclude the time that a house is shielded from view.Never let your sucesses go to your head and never let your failures go to your heart.:beer:0
