"As I understand it, as a UK landowner you can use (land your a/c) your own land
for 30 (specifically 28 days) days/yr without getting planning permission. If
a farmer grants permissions for that to you (or as a flying Farmer uses it
himself),
no need for planning permission. More than 30 days and you need a planning
application - and you can guess how likely getting that granted that is
going to be . . ."
In the UK, if the landowner keeps a log of all aircraft movements (his own and
others) for 10 years and the local council doesn't get complaints during that
period, the landowner can then apply for change of land use. The council can't
refuse, but of course different (probably higher) rates will apply.
On each of the 28 days throughout any year, there can be many aircraft take-offs
and landings involving many different aircraft, but each such day of multiple
movements would still only count as one day. Better have friendly neighbours,
though.
Sorry, I can't help with France.
