Title: What would you have done?
Post by: landroverroy on August 24, 2018, 07:07:52 pm
We have a vindictive neighbour who objected to us trimming some trees back on our land because it meant we could erect a permanent fence on our boundary. He would then be unable to park his van on the previously unfenced part of our land.
He reported us to the police for intentionally damaging birds nests. This was completely untrue as we carefully examined each tree and marked the ones that had nests in. These were left untouched.


He then told the rest of the neighbours that the planning application we had put in was to be on this field that they overlooked, when in fact it was on another part of our land 300 yards away. Unfortunately the planning forum for this area is difficult to access and I think that several of the neighbours are not very computer literate, so there were several letters of objection saying they didn't want to see the new buildings.


So, in order to overcome the planning objections and to solve the problem of where to store our straw, we came up with this solution. :thumbsup: [size=78%] [/size]

 :thinking:   I don't think you should put your straw like that. You might be blocking a mole hole.  :-J

The bales are safe enough only I would worry about the teleporter that close to an electric wire unless the angle of the photo makes it look nearer than it actually is.

No worries Buttermilk, it's not actually just inches from the wire. Just an optical illusion. :sunshine: Unlike the photo Arobwk which is absolutely kosher!  :farmer:
