What would you chose and why?

I'm feckin annoyed, In the u.k you can live on your OWN land in a yurt and not pay some kind of tax is you move it for a few weeks. Apparently it's not classed as a fixed dwelling...yet you van live in it full time if you work the land it's on without using fuel. electric etc, so man power and horses are to be used.
I don't get it, If it's my land, why can't I build what I feckin want on it?
In the program Grand designs, some of those buildings needed planning permission,
O'k, so if you're building a tower or something that is going to interfere with the landscape I can understand it but a 20ft yurt? Maximum of 12 ft tall?
I think these laws apply all over the E.u...so my plan of a yurt In Spain has gone out of the window !
