John has finally got planning permission for his house - hallelujah! He discusses the pitfalls and complications with Toni, who has been waiting just as long as he has for permission for her two-bedroom home.

About this series
At 55, John found himself living in a shed in a yard full of engine parts. So when We Can Make asked him if he wanted to pioneer the first home of a revolutionary sustainable housing project, he jumped at the chance. Join John as he finds the land, designs his house, pushes it through planning permission and finally starts getting his hands dirty...
And if this sounds like something you'd be keen to do yourself, listen closely and get in touch, as We Can Make is only growing…
