Low impact development is recognised by Welsh Planning as key to the transition towards a low carbon society. expiration of domains  TAN6 (the one planet development policy) cover all of Wales.  It supports building in open countryside where there is clear commitment to sustainable living, natural building techniques, and land-based livelihood.
