Curb Barnaggedon in Rural Communities

It is hard to see this as anything other than an attempt to circumvent the normally very strict planning rules of the National Park by exploiting the "letter of the law" but not the spirit. A change of the rules is clearly needed to stop such abuse and restrict development to bona-fide agricultural needs.

Please stop this type of encroachment being allowed without planning permission

This is disgraceful. Something needs to be done to re-site it in an unobtrusive place and the field is certainly large enough to accommodate this.

This particular case looks as if it was deliberately planned to annoy the neighbours and to say the least shows no consideration for other people. This sort of behaviour should not be permitted.

This is deliberate act of vandalism and should be removed or moved to a more appropriate location. If the “barn” was intended for agricultural use it is probably the only place in the field where you would not place it.

I live in Wellow...very sad to see that something like this can happen without consultation or notification to neighbouring properties...this is so very wrong.

Really inappropriate putting this barn so close to another’s property.

So very wrong

Same comment as for Clive Larbalestier

That the barn be removed or resited so as not to impinge on the outlook of residential properties.

It’s so appalling that this could happen to someone in these circumstances. How on earth has this been allowed.

This planning act is probably fair enough for true agricultural land well away from other property, but inapropriate where other properties are nearby.

Should need planning permission

I think it’s absolutely horrendous what these people have been allowed to do. They couldn’t have picked a worse position to erect the barn & they should be made to take it down. What were they thinking!

I live in Wellow and sympathise with the Jesingers. The barn could have been sited within the field in a much more sensitive position which would not have blighted the Jesingers enjoyment of their home. Very questionable.

Could there have been an ulterior motive in siting the building where it is.? A blot on the landscape, which could so easily have been sited elsewhere in the field if it's for agricultural use. Legislation is needed to prevent such atrocities occurring.in the future.

This is a blatant piece of planning manipulation.

Please respect the countryside, and the residents. Surely the state of the world today is through man's greed and thoughtlessness for others. Mike

This building is totally inappropriate for the area and does block the view of other residences.

I live in Wellow and regularly visit the Common. This really is such a shock and I feel very sorry for the affected residents. We must be able to have a more sensible approach to these sorts of buildings to ensure considerate development even on agricultural land.
