Can I get planning permission for one of your houses?

Yes and no, just like any other house. The right design in the right place will (or should) gain permission, however it is highly unlikely that you’d get permission for a log house with acres of glazing in a suburban street of brick or rendered houses. Think about the inside more than the outside as you spend a lot more time living in the house than gazing adoringly at the exterior. The floor plans can be made to work for you and the design and finish of the outside may well need to be a compromise, unless you are lucky enough to find an isolated plot where you’ll have greater scope for innovation.
