APPEAL: An appeal against the decision to block plans to convert a redundant barn at East Hill into residential accommodation has been lodged. The district council said in August the proposed development at Farwell Farm was without justification, and ‘is inappropriate and detrimental to the natural beauty of the area’. A decision from the planning inspectorate is scheduled for November.
