Are any TFF members neighbours of Sarah Beenys house?

[S J H]

seems a waste of a good farm to me

I’m think they’re making a better job of it than most would. Will be much better to look at in 100 years, than it would have before.

 

[harrow]

Yes but if I had an empty field would they let me build a big house on it ?
Or was it because she is on TV ?

 

[Henarar]

As above what are they like as neighbours?
Do they support the local community?

I know one of the Blokes that was doing the fondations, he wouldnt be from very far away

 

[Badshot]

Is it just me that's horrified of building a house out of polystyrene?
Thought that stuff was banned from houses decades ago.

I couldn’t believe the amount of water that came out of that borehole ! Good luck to them

I used to live a mile from there and still know most of the local character's. Most don't object, it's their money and land to do as they wish, within reason. When I was told who was objecting, it was a who's who of the usual suspects. Retired relocators who try and stop any development including ag. I know the driller is localish. It did make me chuckle a bit when she was worried about money. They have four boys at one of the most expensive schools in the country.

no wonder! That’s£160k of taxed income each year!

thunk it’s called ICF. The concrete carried the load, thr polystyrene is cheap and lasts ages offering the insulation needed.

often used in pool construction too

Not that far from me, Bruton area of Somerset, the fashionable part. There are a few members down there.

Bg

God knows why. Always damp and dark when I drive through

Really? All those people employed, all that money into the economy. It’s a bit rich the farmers on here moaning about someone getting planning. We don’t know how lucky we are.

Cheap, and burns like feck giving off some of the most noxious fumes I've ever encountered.
Absolutely ridiculous building houses from it.
If you're gonna build a country house do it right, and don't scrimp on the build costs.
I doubt the massive mansions still standing had any polystyrene in them.
There's other options for insulation and they're a lot safer than polystyrene.

Bruton- it's like a huge open-air version of Hogwarts and chock-full of Londoners. I cannot imagine living there.

Is that Millfield?

Heard about their rejected loads of runny concrete. We happened to have a couple loads of that as well in Sept, in white lorries. Was a bit interesting laying it on a slope! Should have rejected it really. Ours was supposed to be from Bridgwater but it did take a long time getting to us...

 

[Still Farming]

Manson' esk on the cheap?
Nothing "Green" about it?
Joke to the planning system and hoops and laws most got to go through or follow or get refused because of !
One good thing is it has set a precedent in the area so how can they refuse others wanting the same with the same Council and Councillors????

Doubtful. The second, and subsequent, children are generally cheaper, without considering any scholarships, bursaries, etc.

true, some discount but not much. Bung in school trips, Music lessons and few extras and I doubt there be much change?

Kings Bruton. My kids went to school in Bruton but not at that one.
