What are the laws that make this especially difficult in England?

  Zoning. There are exceptions for rich people (no joke, Paragraph 79) and commercial farmers (arduous 3+ year journey). Everyone else is limited to existing tiny plots (even in villages) which cost at minimum 200K. Any detached house with more than quarter of an acre land will cost you a million. Contrast that with many European countries where for a small fee you can convert some agricultural land and build a house yourself.

    This is the process of suburban sprawl, fyi. No biggie if a few people do it, but once everyone does you get Phoenix or Dallas
