European countries often have minimums on what has to be allowed by the government. In my country (Czechia), a 25 square meters house without basement can be built on suitable land with only notifying the government, no approvals needed.

In Poland it's 35 square meters of footprint of a single storey building as long as the land is designated as buildable or recreational. But it has to conform to a plethora of local zoning laws making it kind of tricky. Once you fall out of notification only proces it can take a long time to receive a permit.

What about trees? In some countries even if you own the land you cannot cut the trees without permission and you'd have to put every cut tree back - which means buying a similar grown tree and paying for moving it. This can easily cost millions.

Yeah, here in our corner of Portugal it’s 100m2, any purpose, no permits required. We’ve just built a 45m2 log cabin, entirely manually.
