Spend the weekend up in Hertfordshire looking for a suitable new abode as the house that we'd fallen in love with has proved problematical. We spent an evening with Steve, who has a professional insight into panning in the area. He told us, basically that because of the properties boundary and the fact that it lies in green belt land means that we will not be able to build a new studio. The only option would be to buy some land off the farmer next door, and even then it might not be possible. So we cross it off our list.
