i have inherited a farm with a troublesome neighbour, my splictor is still quering the boundary between us both, today he has put footing in for a barn partly on what we believe is my land right up to my barn stanchions, the 2.5 ft away from my stone barn all with out planning or informing me, on the back of agriculture planning reg i presume he grows a 5 acre field for horse hay and does general cotracting what can i do to stop him building on/close to my property
 
Talk to your local Planning dept without delay.
Sounds like a real pain, good luck.
 
yes i will on monday, why do these problems come friday afternoon, injuction coming up, i feel.
 
Don't quote me on this but surely your right to light has been affected? Also there are limits of how far you can build up to the boundary (I don't know what this is for agricultural buildings). I was under the impression that you had to have 16 acres?? Or at least a lot more than five to put up a barn under agricultural planning. I know that farmers can speed up the planning process again I 'think' it is a 6 week process.

I would advise you to contact a local planning consultant to engage on your behalf with the planners especially if you have plans of your own, they should be able to help with the boundary issues as well. It would be worth the money in the long run.

Good luck I hope you get to enjoy your new farm soon!
 
I love the farm, and have been looking into planning to put a barn up on the farm where we live as this is 17 miles away, but this 'nice' man believes he can do as he likes, and i want him put right if he was to build else where in the field i would be ok with it but on wat ibelieve s mine and so close to stoe walls plus he is not a farmer, horse hay no livestock ,corn etc If i let him walk over me he will be a bigger nightmare.
 
With agricultural buildings you can put so much square footage up without permission. It does have to be a set distance from the dwelling and it must be for agricultural use.

The rules to vary from council to council so would be worth checking.
 
I hate this sort of thing. Don't complain over this as it gets expensive and can be life consuming. If you can't mediate just let it go, at the end of it you inherited a farm for nothing...lucky you, be happy.

However for grand you can get him beaten to a pulp...a cheaper and more satisfying conclusion

Just because someone inherits a farm doesn't mean they should not protect what is there’s and let people put up barns as they see fit. It doesn't need to be expensive planning laws are there for everyone.
 
I would definitely speak to your planning officer, Agricultural property laws are still as binding - just a bit cheaper. I have an agricultural/equestrian property and find it easier to do things under the agricultural banner. However, I was not even able to build a barn to replace one burned down in fire automatically. I still had to put in planning permission and seek opinions from neighbours under that. Your neighbour cannot simply do what he wants and you shoudl pursue this as far as you need to. Don't wait until he has built it!
 
thamks fruitloop if i let him do as he wants what will he do next, I just hope the planning folk sort him out cheeper than solictors and hopefully quicker.
