Pat Sajak said it best:

He was entirely wrong. There is no freedom with all these rules. Leave
us alone!

Fortunately, other than being a game show host, nobody listens to Pat
Sajack about much of anything.
Here in Florida we may not be able to count votes but we can do our
own electrical work and damned near anything else in our own home.
You can pull your own permit for anything from a total house rewire to
doing all of the plumbing and all of the HVAC, along with building the
whole house yourself.
In my area they aren't even very particular about getting a permit if
you can't see the work from the street.
You can count on the tax man showing up tho. He is airborne.

In Scotland I can do anything I like unless it impinges on a neighbour.

That's wrong too.

Give an example.

I can build a garage, a conservatory, I can do anything electrical.

That's wrong too.

No it isn't. There are no regulations about me doing my own wiring. I can rewire the whole house if I wish. Garages, conservatories, anything that isn't an actual "extension" do not require permission. Check the government website.

Not gas, but who can see :-) An extension to the house apparently needs
planning permission,

And so does the original house.

It's already here, what's your point?

but all that means is paying a small fee and having all the neighbours the
opportunity to say "it would block my light".

That's wrong too.

State why.

? But if it's got enough windows, it's called a conservatory and is exempt
:-)

Wrong again.

Bull****, check the government website, there is a percentage of glass for it to be classed as a conservatory.
