Great Britain- an essentially totalitarian state with a few democratic and monarchistic tokens.

Many years ago, I had a coffee table book titled, "Through The Wizard's Eye" ... might even still HAVE it around here somewhere ... and the entire thing was a photo journal of clever people and their ability to take ordinary things and make extra-ordinary things with them.
There was one section on homes and I swear, these young kids saw that book and copied what a number of those homes (published in the 60's I think) had shown to be rermarkable usage of wood.

Very nice.
I’ve seen things similar to this, though not nearly as nice, in backwoods Vermont and New Hampshire.

Their labour of love was branded 'harmful' to the countryside Branded 'harmful to the notion of bureaucratic micromanagement of the average person's life', more like.

The City Council is looking at this all wrong.
This beautiful and creative home is already a worldwide news story, and could be a world-wide tourist attraction for the county- bringing people from all over to view it, attend workshops on how to build one, and just celebrate it.
All those people would stay in the town hotels, eat at the local pubs and spend money. Everybody wins !
What’s not to like !

Here;s the book

My response to them would be “Nuts!” The council can destroy it but I would not participate in their decision!
Another way to fight this is to get pictures of the homes the council and the inspectors live in and put them out on the web with the question”Do these homes look like they add or subtract to the scenic composition of the surrounding country side?”

The only way to protect the house now is to declare it a mosque.
