What impact does being in an AONB have?

[Kidds]

Looks like they are going to invent a new AONB and looks like my place will be in it.
From an agricultural point of view what impact will it have? Automatic loss of Class Q for what it is worth, what else?
Are you micro managed like National Parks or is it pretty limited in effect.

Hopefully with the loss of Class Q PP, the loss of all the greedy developer bar-stewards, some of which are or were once farmers, from constantly trying to temp owners of Agricultural buildings into selling and turning them into inappropriate F-off-and-die houses that attract the wrong type of people into the neighbourhood!

It cannot happen fast enough!

No solar and any development is darn near impossible to get, even some agg buildings, fortunately we are outside the one here but even getting planning for a new grainstore is proving interesting. I have come to the conclusion that the planning in this country is fecked, with huge monstrosities getting the go ahead and small in keeping with the surrounds apps getting rejected. It appears to be even more so now a case of "who you know"

 

[DrWazzock]

It’s a PITA. Every planning application is scrutinised in detail by every money for old rope organisation known to mankind. By the time they have finished it bears no resemblance to what you envisaged and costs three times the price if it’s allowed at all.

Where is the detail on the new areas?

I have just got planning permission for a building. The AONB officer put in a letter with 21 complaints about the design. Fortunately the planers only took notice of 2.

@MrNoo he wasn’t happy with me not having solar panels

I doubt it, it clearly depends who the developers know. That hideous eyesore of a hospital at Moreton was passed in an AONB!

Ironically the field opposite not in the AONB is about to have 250 new houses on it!

Where the Hospital now is there weren’t any farm building to get PP Q on. But, it being in the AONB, PP Q wasn’t available for it anyway.

As I understand it, even though PP Q is not available on AONB land, you can still get normal PP, but it takes a lot longer to get.

But greedy bar-steward developers are chasing every last bit of non AONB farm building to get PP Q on.

Thanks for the replies.
I think it has spurred me on to get through my JFDI list before anyone notices and starts being extra nosy and fussy.
Not keen on the extra amount of busybodies involved but have to take comfort in living in a nice place.

After attending an NFU meeting this last week it sounded like things might become significantly more difficult for those in AONB’s as they may move closer to National Park regulations

 

[Cripper]

Going to be more grants for environmental projects and ‘sustainable ‘ farming in anobs. Plans have already been drawn up by committees on how these areas are going to be developed post livestock farming. Will be many more grants for game cover

 

[George from SJM Planning]

AONB's are Class 2 (3) land in the GPDO and this restricts a lot of Permitted Development and Prior Notification options. You can still get planning but has to go through full planning where every man and their dog get a say.

Wonder if they’ll be paying compensation to the landowners for the drop in price if their land due to the imposed AONB status ??

Too right. We keep things nice and tidy round here. Folk take a pride in their gardens and properties in the villages and such like. Enjoy a quiet retirement away from the skanks. Then the “council” decides that the area, which private landowners and householders have made good, is to be milked for all it’s worth as a tourist attraction. So we are bunged out with parked cars and all the other disruption that comes with mass tourism along with noisy promotional events and opportunistic leisure facility developers who seek to exploit to its full an environment created at others expense. It’s a bit rich in my view. We get no benefit but shoulder the increased traffic and disruption with the council contributing absolutely nothing to upgrade the infrastructure, parking etc to cope with the increased number of visitors. If you live in one of these villages do expect the neighbouring house to be bought by an “entrepreneur” who will kit it out with a hot tub and let it for weekend hen or stag parties. No consideration whatsoever for the original inhabitants who made these villages what they are. Thanks for nothing.

Come to think of it with all this talk of public money for public goods shouldn’t we already be being paid for providing the amenity landscape others seek to exploit. I mow the public footpath that runs through here. The tourist industry uses it. They gain a financial benefit from it. Where’s my cut? Why am I expected to maintain an asset for free?

They took a strip of land for a coastal path and no payment received.

Makes a complete mockery of public money for public goods. Where is the NFU and CLA? Automatic payment of £50 an acre for any land that falls within an AONB to cope with the increased restrictions. That might slow them down a bit. Presumptuous entitled twits. They seem to forget that landscapes are created by private owners at private owners expense.
