  • There is no definitive answer to this question as it depends on your local laws and ordinances. However, in most cases, you will not need planning permission to erect a yurt as they are considered temporary structures. That said, you may still need to comply with other regulations such as building codes or zoning restrictions. It is always best to check with your local authorities to be sure. If you do choose to live in your yurt full-time, there may be some requirements relating to the type of foundation that must be used and the materials that can be used in construction. Again, it is best to check with your local authorities before starting construction.

    I was thinking about living in my yurt permanently. Can I do it? Yes, you can live in a yurt permanently, but you may need planning permission. Check with your local municipality to see if there are any zoning regulations that would prohibit you from doing so. Building your own yurt is a great way to save money, and it's not as difficult as you might think. But keep in mind that a yurt is not a permanent structure, and it may not be suitable for all climates. Make sure you design and build your yurt using materials that will withstand the elements, and be prepared to take it down and put it back up again if necessary.
