    No one cares.
    Some seemed interested enough when they jumped to the conclusion that I was making it up.

      This happened on a farm plot 10 miles away from me. Only 5 acres, chap moved on and build a barn and kept chickens, , moved in on a caravan, next sage build a double farmhouse. Sold off half the farm and stared all over again, currently no farm in production.

        Did he get planning permission for the farmhouse?

        The one here is particularly contentious because the field is in an AONB. The guy claimed his special needs son worked on the "farm", and that's why they needed a house on the land.

          Not quite the same thing but part of our village is in an AONB and there's one property where they slowly got various planning permissions to add living facilities to a large garage, then convert it to a fully habitable building, then they sold it off as a separate property. Then they got more permission to build another large garage/workshop thing on their remaining land and have since applied to play the same game with that. Luckily our parish council watch planning applications very closely and have successfully managed to get 3 or 4 separate applications denied. I'm sure it'll only be a matter of time before the owners come up with some proposal that the council have no choice but to approve though.

            good on them

            the only way to reduce house prices is to let people build

            and good on the ones who have a vision, a plan, patience, persistence, success
