Just to pick up on a point that peter has made.
Any building with or without foundations, that is situated for a certain period of time will be regarded as a permanent structure, having foundations or not is not the only this that defines the type of building, as soon as you connect to water, electricty and build a septic tank, it will be classed as a permanant building, in fact it could be very hard to get electricity connected to anything that is not registered as habitation and is a permanant building,
There is a lot of miss information out there, especialy concerning wooden buildings, if you plan on living in a wooden building on your property you will need full planning consent from your local council, they will treat it as a normal new build application, where it must meet current building regs, I see no reason why convetional build and wooden homes or timber framed buildings will be treated any different when the council concider the planning application.
In fact in some regions wooden buildings are not allowed at all, due to local planning restrictions like fire risk etc, therefore these types of buildings will be even harder than normal to get planning approval.
Anyone thinking of building anything on your land regardless of what it is made from, you should have a meeting with your local planning department to see if they will allow the type of building you want, before getting too far into it, in case you cant do what you want.
