I don't think there is any place in the Schengen area (and I have a hunch that parent lives there) where this isn't absolutely illegal. At least in Germany, if you just buy a small parcel of land (and even that is really expensive), and "build something expedient", you won't be able to register that address with the government (which you are, by the way, legally required to, even if you're homeless). The local government will find hundreds of reasons, why your expedient building is not up to code (besides fire safety, which would be enough reasons in itself) and has to be torn down. But of course they don't have to, because you didn't even apply to get permission to build something (which is mandatory here), it wouldn't be granted anyways, because you bought a cheap parcel of land and those are outside the areas where permission to build something can even be granted. Of course people still do it. But the threat that you might be forced to tear down your home at any moment just to be homeless really is not that much fun. Edit: Oh, and a parked trailer is a building as well, of course. Just that tearing it down is a lot easier |

Where I live, code requires that if you build a fence, it should not block the view and should be lower than 1.6/1.7m. So you cannot build a full fence for privacy or to block road noises.
Some neighbours wanted to build such a fence, because the road passing by is busy and noisy. So they build a "fake" pre-fence to code, next to the road, and 2 meters back, the first allowed distance for any construction, they build a "natural" 2.5 meter high "fence" of stacked wood to dampen the noise and have some privacy.
The town hall is furious, but cannot do anything, because nothing prevents you from stacking wood 2.5 meters high. The winters are harsh in the mountains, after all. And even the locals a few villages down the valley were impressed and laughing about it.
