Goodness knowns why he or she doesn't want to admit to what country he's in - but that is their business. However, giving UK centric answers may not help much.

Genghis, I might have accumulated a few differences with interpol over the last few decades... But now I realize that with the current technology they can trace back my location anyways, what a time to be alive. Just kidding, I have read your replies in other threads of this forum and thank you for being here and sharing your knowledge.
I am Swiss but live in Spain, hence Europe. The aerodrome is to be located in Spain.
At first I didn't think there were many spaniards here, I now realize there is a spanish section, but more importantly I just thought this question had to do with EASA so countries didn't matter so to say, almost anything that has to do with aviation in Europe is under EASA I believed but I was clearly wrong.
I live in a somehow remote place of the canary islands, there is only one airport in this island, and the landing and parking fees are prohibitive.
Another option I was contemplating was getting my seaplane rating and either convert to floats or buy something with floats , is the safer choice as it gives plenty of room for a possible engine failure, there are hills everywhere in this island. Weather is usually very nice all year round but salty water might be a problem.
But the aerodrome option seems cheaper and faster to do after reading what you all have told me
