Thomas and Jenny Jackson, a TV couple who say they left their careers to raise children on a 13-acre plot in rural Somerset, are being ordered to stop part of their countryside development after they lose a planning dispute. According to reports from the same outlet, the couple sought permission to install a caravan as well as other features including a pond and play equipment on their land. The reports say they took the matter through the planning process but were not granted the approval they requested. As a result, they are now required to pack up or remove the approved or installed elements related to the caravan, pond and play area. The story was previously publicized in 2020, when the couple described their decision to abandon the “rat race” and focus on their family life in the countryside. The latest update centers on the planning ruling and the order to dismantle the planned facilities after the couple’s appeal or application is unsuccessful. The accounts do not describe further details of the council’s reasoning or the specific legal basis of the order.
