Aled_cky Posted October 31, 2004 Report Share Posted October 31, 2004 there is a lady that had grants from Friends of the Earth to buy 10acres of land 300metres off my land. this lady does a bit of so called 'LAND ART'.. she calls it land art, but all we can see is 3acres of Ragwort with wine bottles and wood all over the place supposing to be something religous. then in the 5 acre field, she last year she tried to grow Cannabis in it but the crop failed, and now those 8acres of very good land before is now weeds , Ragwort , long grass and brambles. last week we saw 3diggers enter the 2 acre field which my dad used to grow top quality spuds in, and just now me and dad got back from going to see what they were doing, and the man who owns the diggers(local farmer) said that his job was to take 2foot of topsoil off, put that soil around the banks to form a sort of pond, and then this mad women was going to plant heather there(like on moors, cliffs and bogs.) this is an absolutely outragous way to use top quality soil !! we might go to the National Parks and Trust as they are dead against our cliffs having heather on it. anyone got any suggestions?

Aled_cky Posted October 31, 2004 Author Report Share Posted October 31, 2004 i think the National Trust and Parks are going to stop her from doing it. and she is spoiling a view of the sea from people that have lived near there for 50years by putting big earth banks infront of there house for permament.

stirky Posted October 31, 2004 Report Share Posted October 31, 2004 Why not try to encourage her to dig a bigger pond so you can shoot the ducks as they flight in over your ground. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aled_cky Posted October 31, 2004 Author Report Share Posted October 31, 2004 theres a 100acre moor beside her land that seperates our land from her's which is always full of widgeon, teal , mallard. and my uncles farm is beside that on the other end and he has 300permament mallard on his pond so most of the birds fly to him.

Cranfield Posted October 31, 2004 Report Share Posted October 31, 2004 I don't think true "hippies" exist anymore. If the lady was a genuine hippie, she would certainly have known how to grow cannabis. I can understand that the activities of neighbours can cause concerns and I am pleased that I don't have any within half a mile. :thumbs: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Growing HEMP is perfectly legal . all the best yis yp :thumbs: Not quite. You still need a licence for it, even though industrial hemp contains the most miniscule level of dope.

Hammergun Posted November 1, 2004 Report Share Posted November 1, 2004 If it's in the National Park, she will need permission before she can change the use of the land, and certainly before she can make ponds. Even if it's not within the National Park, I'm pretty sure she needs planning permission to create ponds. Ragwort is classed as a noxious weed and she is required by law to destroy it. If it is reported to your local authority, they will issue her with an enforcement order. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
