[No one has ever applied for permission
to build on the island, according to the listing,
so it would be down to the buyer to investigate
the development possibilities with
the local authority.]

I would ask the Council to build
a Flat Roofed Home
With all Solar Panels on the roof.
And pay them Cash.

Doesn't look like a sensible place to build to be honest. Too flat and not high enough above sea level... in a storm the waves would be hitting your front door.

It', 25 acres if you went to the centre you would probably be okay, you could also build a house on a platform there are possibilities, will it be there in another 50 years is the real question

Yes Hit Tech Flat Roof Home
would have all sides angled
and a Gully around it all

So Big Storm waves batter it,
but roll off.


It would be a Award-winning Home

I'd love it, I love the wild weather and the outdoors.

I'd probably just plonk a couple of campervans in the middle and live in them :joker:

There is something romantic about uninhabited islands but tbh this one looks pretty boring - all just flat, no variation in landscape, no diversity in plants, not much of a beach area etc. I doubt there's any wildlife or anything there apart from a few birds

You could probably stick some glamping pods and maybe a big stone barbecue/pizza oven on it and turn a good profit - lots of middle-class Kayak Kids would love to paddle out to it with their pals.

But someone would probably drown or summat and then you'd get sued.

its in the borders and when the tide goes out its just an extension of the land so not a proper island either

Thats Why
Flat Roof Hit Tech home
is best with Gully around the Bricks
to Wash the Storm away
with Angle Walls
