Curb Barnaggedon in Rural Communities

An appalling situation - particularly for the immediate neighbours.

This is totally unfair.

this big building is sited unbelievably close to the adjoining dwelling. While I understand no-one has automatic right to a view this appears to be inexcusably placed overclose to a neighbour.

This very sad situation is clearly causing considerable distress to the immediate neighbours but also disunity in the community at large. In the long term this is about defects in the planning regulations but in the short term it is about peoples lives and treating others with respect and consideration - even if you don't agree with them. I very much hope that, upon reflection and with the benefit of hindsight, the architects of this regrettable situation will reconsider and reverse it - we all make errors of judgement from time to time - it takes courage and self confidence to admit to them and correct them.

Appalling misuse of the planning system and the worst is that the person who is going to benefit has refuse to comment.

This is disgusting. The NFNP should have put restrictions on where the barn was placed. Also should have checked on the land ownership.

Our planning laws are a mess and have been for a long time. They tend to nhit the little guy but only bother the big ones in thepockets of their customers through the cost of what ever it takes toget their way. Our current government is wors than most previous samples. It is disingenuous to call themselves conservative, one doubts they understand that concept. In terms of Conservation they are a potential disaster.

It's unbelievable that this should be allowed to happen! Good luck Dave and Di.

Disgusting as this is obviously being used to erect housing in the future. Why so close to the boundary? It is not in keeping with the residential nature of the village and is very unsightly!

A totally cynical abuse of Planning Regulations - the loophole should be closed.

The situation proves that one cannot relax planning restrictions at any price! This "Permitted Development" puts the clock back about 75 years

It's an appalling situation!

The owner of the barn ought to have more sense.

It is appalling that a 1-hectare field owned by one person, can It is appalling that a 1-hectare field owned by one person, can temporarily be added to 4 hectare play of another landowner (where no aspect of the land is even contiguous) to try to count this as a 5-hectare plot to ensure those bordering the plot are never even consulted or informed that planning permission is being sought. It is appalling that of all the places within a 1-hectare field, the barn is sited as close as it can be to the Jessingers’ dwelling, and as wide as possible to block out as much view as possible. This is naked greed of the field owners to get a plot with residential planning permission through use of agricultural loopholes (are the owners agricultural? - no they are Dr Iain Simpson, a Porsche-driving cardiologist and his wife Nancy). Shame on them and shame on the farmer who took pay-off to be part of such a blatantly malicious scheme.

Another illustration of incompetant national government

Disgraceful, morally inconsiderate, even possibly spiteful. Totally unacceptable in this day and age. Come on, get signing!

Far too close to neighbour and presents a black profile of some size facing their sittingroom. the site is extensive and the barn could be placed anywhere respecting other neighbour's outlook.

I cannot believe such an ugly building was allowed to be built and so close to the boundary.

We had a similar situation next door to our son's house at Ampfield which was for sale at the time. It delayed the sale for two years and knocked about 25% off the value of the house. This application was approved by the planning inspector despite being unanimously turned down by the Test Valley and Ampfield Parish Councils.

Stop this wonton destruction of our agricultural land now
