[QUOTE="Whitepeak, post: 6516347, member: 45704"] I'm in the Peak District as well. My biggest gripe is planning for houses is needlessly restrictive. We've looked into building at the farm and the hoops you need to jump through are stupid and you have to build the house to their design basically, even though all the existing houses around it are different. Even trying to renovate a delapated building would be difficult. We haven't put up any farm buildings for several years so can't comment on that. Our village is off the tourist trail, but I can imagine some will be hell to get around/farm in during the height of the tourist season. Over half the planning committee are residents of Sheffield and Manchester, so they don't understand what it's like to try and live and work in the park, they just want to preserve their idealised, picture postcard view of it. Having said all that, I do love the fact I live and farm in the Peak Park and I wouldn't want to farm anywhere else. [/QUOTE]
