Update on the planning situation:
Jackie, the older lady who lives at Greycot, spoke with the planning folks when they came back a few days ago.
Apparently, she did her "old lady telling stories" schtick, and they were mostly on her side by the time they left. They will probably want us to move our yurt (which we thought might happen) to another location on the property (as we hoped) and will probably be happy to have us officially resident in "the Moulton Residence" with the yurt up in its garden (as we hoped).
In addition, they acknowledged the legality of the four dwellings on the property, which we had expected to take some wrangling and filling out of forms. So, victory! At least for now, as far as we can tell.
We won't know for certain what the outcome of these visits is until we get some sort of a letter from the council, or we approach them in the Autumn to get letters certifying the legality of our existing arrangements. Still, for now...
Our prayers worked, and/or its a good thing to have a charming old lady on your side.
