Acid soil?
There is permitted development to erect an agricultural building on agricultural land, although as pointed out, getting planning for a habitation is a different matter.However, if Wondering Hobbit can prove he can make the minimum wage off his land, and with 30 acres this is possible, then he has a good chance to get permission for a house as well.

Totally depends on where he is in country. (not sure how you would make living wage of 30 acres of exconifer!
My primary concern would be the "once a forest, always a forest" rule, unless you have planning permission for change of land use. I was under the impression that all felled trees must be replaced, and that you are not allowed to remove/reduce a wood / forest slowly over time using your quarterly allowance.
Interesting mart6!
