[QUOTE="rusty, post: 6515935, member: 689"] I farm in the Peak District National Park. I run a 330 cow fairly intensive grass based dairy farm. Wall to wall reseeded ryegrass is probably not what the parks vision of want they want . I would have liked a 50 kw turbine but that was always a non starter with the park planners. Not had any real issues with planners re farm sheds personally in last 20 years but one was a real knob 25 years ago. No permitted development on farm sheds in a national park. A lot of farms have some tourist diversification especially B and B, caravan or camp sites. There seem to be a quite a lot of camping and caravan sites running with no permission. Some of the environmental side have lost the plot . Mate of mine bought a block of previously poorly farmed land next to him. When he would not enter into an environmental scheme because the payments were poor against what he could make with his dairy cows the engineered it to be classified SSSI. [/QUOTE]
