[QUOTE="brooklyn07, post: 7472889, member: 143366"] Hi all This may be a bit long winded so bear with me. Partner and I farm in a village, we own around 150 sheep, partner is an agri contractor and all work is within the village. We live 10 miles away and are looking to get back to the village as driving back and fall especially during lambing season is proving to be too much - we thought we could do it but we can't (we both lived with parents in the village previously) We own a small piece of land (only 2 acres) and tried to get planning on that and were totally shot down which is understandable given that its an SSI area. Anyway, nothing ever comes up for sale in the village and when it does the price is just too steep - you're looking at around 600k for a small house with no ground - just isnt feasible on our income, There are 2 derelict farmhouses with ground, compulsory purchased by the national assembly for wales when they were planning to build a new motorway, but that got abolished so now they are just sat there doing nothing. I've contacted the welsh assembly and they've basically said they aren't interested in selling them, its on their list of things to look at in the future but they basically aren't interested in looking to sell them in the next 10 years but they also have no plans to do anything with them either - its just a paperwork issue. Is there anyone else we can contact to get this reviewed? Just seems awful that they are sat there falling down when they could be farmed again. I don't even know where to begin. [/QUOTE]
