The farm across the road from my house, has just been given planning permission to build a new milking parlour. Neither me or my immediate neighbours were consulted on this application. The detailed report which went to the local planning committee states, "the buildings would be viewed against the backdrop of the existing agricultural complex from all viewpoints surrounding the farm which satisfactorily mitigates against visual intrusion into the open countryside." This is simply not true, as the view from our properties will be blocked by the new building. Do we have any right to compensation? If so who do we claim it from?
Just as a point of interest, when my husband and I applied for planning permission to extend our house (side elevation), the occupants of the farm had a personal letter from the planning department to ask if they had any objection.
