Is it really believable that Ashley and Lauren could afford a huge pirate ship, for their children that looks as if it cost a few thousand?
ED pirate ship
Some people will do anything where their children are concerned. I don't get it myself as I don't have a single maternal bone in my body but a lot have.
I was more confused that a vicar with dementia, an old man and a small child managed to build it so well. Looks pretty intricate. Several joiners would take days to build that

If they did they are dumb as hell, that thing had to cost thousands. Also IDK about UK lawas but wouldn't they need some type of permit to build something like that and I can't see any city or village giving permission to build a giant pirate ship in their back yard.

It was built single handed by Doug, that well known expert in everything, from gardening, vlogging, running a pub, running a B&B, changing the wet knickers of adult alcoholics and everyone else's business in general.

Yes, they would need planning permission.

Not necessarily, it's made of wood so is classed as a temporary structure the same as a wooden shed. Although it's close to the maximum height. I would think they may have some questions to answer.

Also I'd imagine that a village like Emmerdale would probably have strict laws about what you can build and do to your property to maintain a certain look. Like in the suburb I live in they want the houses to maintain their historical look when I was looking into getting knew windows they said I wasn't allowed to change the number of panes in the windows they had to be exactly like the original windows.
It's absolutely huge! Looks like it'd cost 10 grand easily.
I honestly don't understand how they can afford it either with Laurel being the only one earning, as she said. With another baby on the way too.

Another thought has occurred, they may not need building consent but did they get consent from the landlord ie. Debbie or her local agent Cain?

Sheds, outbuildings etc don't require planning consent subject to the following conditions (from England Planning Portal):
No outbuilding on land forward of a wall forming the principal elevation.
Outbuildings and garages to be single storey with maximum eaves height of 2.5 metres and maximum overall height of four metres with a dual pitched roof or three metres for any other roof.
Maximum height of 2.5 metres in the case of a building, enclosure or container within two metres of a boundary of the curtilage of the dwellinghouse.
No verandas, balconies or raised platforms.
No more than half the area of land around the "original house"* would be covered by additions or other buildings.
In National Parks, the Broads, Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty and World Heritage Sites the maximum area to be covered by buildings, enclosures, containers and pools more than 20 metres from house to be limited to 10 square metres.
On designated land* buildings, enclosures, containers and pools at the side of properties will require planning permission.
Within the curtilage of listed buildings any outbuilding will require planning permission.
The height restrictions must be close, but the raised deck would be a 'no no'. Another unknown is whether any of the cottages has listed building status. How close is it to the boundary of the curtilage of the cottage?
