Renting a yard.

[J The Tree]

Buy youself a bit of land, get a big caravan, a Transit with a big flashing light on the top, start knocking on doors for your work- the council wont touch you!

Is that right! if only it was that easy!

[J The Tree]

Well if you knew the amount of time and money i have spent trying to get planning permission for the storage of logs and woodchip on a little corner if a field i rent, yet one of our travelling fraternity brought a field down the road covered it in crushed concrete, buldozed the trees and hedges moved a caravan on and the council was happy- Not bitter just twisted....

[Lee Winger]

yeah I bet the council was happy, I bet you they might be there for a few years pending a planning appeal,or untill your local council provide adequate council run traveller sites. I bet the travellers haven't got planning to be on there for good. Mark my words they'll be moved , fined or imprisoned.

 

Planning permission for logs and chip on a field, something doesn't sound correct, agricultural land can be used for ''any'' agricultural or horticultural purpose period. Sounds like your man from the council is a jobs worth, a quick print out from a google search would have soon put him in his place!

[J The Tree]

The chappie from the councils argument was that the "waste" was produced elsewhere and was being imported onto the propery, before being processed and sold on, therefore we were intending to operate as a Transfer Station.

We only wanted to store chip to compost it and timber to be split into firewood.

Surrey C.C have rejected my first application and served an enforcement notice on my landlord.

Our friends down the road are getting the council to improve sight lines for entering and leaving the site!!

[Lee Winger]

Well thats something i'd never thought of, good these forums aren't they..

 

I hope the council see reason at the end of the day, i'd be inclined to go to my local MP, they hold a surgery most Saturdays, best of luck..

[J The Tree]

To add insult to injury some nice chappie keeps dumping big piles of brash in the entrance to my yard, keep getting letters from the council telling me to move it to a licenced landfill or face the consequences

My mate Leaky is a plumber charging 650 a day for a battered old van a few tools and no yard( he`s Corgi reg though)

councils are obviously better round your way, here the travellers get away with murder (literally in one case!!)

Here may be the reason not too many people have any land to use for yards MB: http://www.uklanddirectory.org.uk/land-for-sale.asp?id=6060 its a bit on the expensive side here

 

Don't forget that buying land is not like buying a piece of machinery - it will go up in value as time drifts by..........
