If they have planning troubles there then they should try the Borders
area just a bit north. With the textile industry in mass decline and
sheep going for less than a packet of crisps, there's not much money
coming into the area apart from visitors and tourists. In short, finding
a farmer to rent out a field wouldn't be hard and local councils are
likely to be friendlier than most where visitors to the area are
concerned. A lot of the countryside is also just as nice as the Lake
District.
