I’d like to know what drives him. Farm shops are hard work, and not exactly the most lucrative pass time.
I'm not saying it's right either but the system is so open to pi** taking your almost stupid for not playing it and for following the rules. The reality is planning depts don't have the financial clout to dare trying to enforce the rules. All you need is for them to think you've got more coin to put into a fight than they have and you can just about please yourself.Personally I think it's wrong to game the system, but equally it is a stupid system that makes everyone have to play such stupid games to get things. I think our planning system needs looking at, but not sure what the answer is, as too many people in a small place, with good agricultural land being built over and losing habitat too to the likes of HS2 as well.

I realise all his figures are a bit fictional, but your post slightly highlights how hard work it is. Manging 36 people is not for the faint hearted and if they are only turning over £1000 each a week its hardly a get rich quick scheme.He "gave" it to his girlfriend, Liza.
Busy enough to employ 36 (or it could be 38) people including the online servicers
I suspect a high percentage is caps, T shirts etc but IIRC, was taking about 40k a week

You obviously don't have a certain developer like we have here in Kent I think I've seen him told no and also be told no on appeal and that was due to the site of the homes being underwater.It's a re-run of a scenario you will find countless times if you look for it.
Rich guy moves into a place, proceeds to spend millions on the place, with the associated grief construction, plant and traffic always cause. Rich man train set, I want so I should get. Seen it a load of times in Somerset. Planners agree to a few hair brained schemes but eventually they get fed up and fudge their plans by saying no.
There is a place for rich in comers who think they can do what they like. It's called London, a place where they will forever be surrounded by their own fudging kind.
