A few years back the cottage at the bottom of our farm road was just used for holidays, the people who owned it came up about once a month and boy did they make our life a living hell. Tried to say they owned part of our farm road and started planting on the verge, wanted to buy land from us and when we would not sell then they did all sorts of horrible things,  we could prove to them with our title deeds what we owned but he still refused to accept it and we were never allowed to see his deeds. In the end we got the police as he took one of our fences down. told me to my face that my cats would dissappear and things could happen to my horses, well you can threaten me till the cows come home but when it is my animals then I change from an easy going person to a raging thing that no one would want to meet on a dark night. He soon got the message and sold up and moved to Spain. We now have nice neighbours who enjoy country living.

Well done you, glad you finally got rid of the idiots. it is funny how it only takes one person to cause so much havoc.

I don't know Roxy who can say withcouncils. It's gone quiet so I'm hoping they'll give up if not I'll remove the beds and hope that will do it.

Haven't heard a peep yet thanks. We did have one of our local Councillors in yesterday for dinner and I pounced in him and he gave me the number of the man responsible for Enforcements. I decided not to contact him at this stage as it only reminds him of us and our lack of planning, so I will sit and wait and let the Council take the next step. The Councillor did say that this man would know exactly what the rules were and that the guy that came out a few weeks ago may interpret the law a different way - so there may be hope. The Councillor was also in our favour!!!!

Helencus. Do you grow enough veg to feed to your animals? that way the beds stop being domestic and resort to being agricultural in use

We have just had a visit form Enviromental Services, Fife council as our only 2 neighbours have complained about the caravan and the smell from the animals. I won't bore you with everything but needless to say - we won - CASE CLOSED!!!! Ofcourse it is up to Planning as to whether they make us move the caravan or not but enviromental services see no problem and definately no smell!! :farmer:

Fantastic, James.  Make sure they are told - interfering busybodies!
Always have been, always will be, a WYSIWYG - black is black, white is white - no grey in my life! But I'm mellowing in my old age
