Clarkson’s Farm
Discussion
Smollet said:
If the local council hadn’t been so anti Clarkson, it may never had happened. The law of unintended consequences at work.
I suspect that its nothing really to do with Clarkson and more to do with enabling more homes to be built:"Farmers are now allowed to convert disused agricultural buildings into homes and shops without planning permission under a new “Clarkson’s clause”.
... hopefully its not all about property developers looking to flood the countryside with more crap, expensive, housing ('executive apartments' for the countryside) under the guise of helping out hard-hit farmers.
If it genuinely helps farming be more viable as a business though, that's good.

Well done! If all he had done was achieved this - what a positive impact for farmers.
Do we know if that applies in AONBs?https://www.msn.com/en-gb/cars/news/planning-rules...

Of disused farm buildings. Maybe there'll be caveats in there regarding age, so farmers can't throw a 'barn' up then six months later start renting out flats.
I can't see anything about disused. There's no defined period of disuse or how long they've been standing before conversion. But that's my point, Clarkson built a lambing shed with PDR, then tried to convert to something else, which needed Planning Permission.

Here's the release from DEFRA. Seems it's not as carte blanche as presented (but agree that at face value there was no definition or requirement for them to be 'disused').

No he didn't. He built the lambing shed with planning permission. ("Erection of a lambing shed and farm shop, including car parking and associated landscaping. Potential for occasional film-making")
Bow was that because it was never intended to be a lambing shed or because of zoning?Evanivitch said:

Little bit behind here and just caught up with Ep3 with the Christmas Tractor Rally and all I can say is…
WOW!
Unbelievable how many were there!
Wonderful sight.
That was amazing. I was having dinner with a famer mate of mine and we were talking about how impressive it looked - he was gobsmacked as he does it every year in his local town and I have never seen or heard of it here before...no idea how you can miss well over a hundred highly decorated Tractors trundling around but maybe I should get my eyesight tested.WOW!
