With the raised awareness of the environment and the drastically increased costs of homes log cabins and other wooden buildings have become more and more popular.

When considering log cabins, they important factors to consider are planning permission and building regulations.  Planning permission is generally hard to get for any land that is not used for residential use.  Agricultural land in particular is very difficult to get planning permission for.

If you want to build a cabin in an area with existing property then planning permission is generally easier.  If you have an existing wooden building, including some caravans, that have been built with mobile building planning permission it is often possible to replace the building or caravan with a log cabin and still use the existing planning permission.
