lovely to read the update! thanks for sharing so much, i love how we both are so transparent!

IT sounds promising what you say about the local authorities being quite supportive of these kind of things and those having good ideas that can help solve local problems.. In Brighton we ended up very well supported by the Brighton & Hove City Council, who not only gave us land to build on for free, but also in an area designated as protected national trust land.

Since we have the support of the council, and they understood and valued what we were doing, they voted first time in favour of giving us permission in all respects to build Earthship Brighton. Today they are very happy the did as it has brought a lot of positive attention to the government and area in many ways including tourism.

Lets see how this pans out.. i think between the few of us only we have a great chance of impressing them with our ideas as well as our combined experience and background...
