You mean you didn't own the land or get planning permission? I live mostly between Ireland and the UK... it's such a high population density (even more so in the UK) and planners are such sticklers, it really is like playing a complex game of chess to find loop-holes and dodge the paper pushers for things like that!

Correct, I found a fallow piece of land where I wasn't disturbing anyone on the edge of an old town quarry, and built my off-grid home there. Definitely strategy involved and picking the right piece of land and taking steps not to attract attention were essential for the first few years. But if you're not asking permission and not creating conflict with neighbors, then there won't be many problems.
I bet that's not in the UK though. I reckon it' be possible in a woodland in some parts of Ireland with extreme care, the UK is very difficult! Well done that you pulled that off!
