At last it looks as though there may be hope for many delapidated farm buildings that for decades have been falling into ruin.
Planning rules are changing and farmers in many cases will be able to restore and adapt buildings that have increasingly become blots on the landscape while planners resisted their development.
National Parks and Areas of Outanding Natural Beauty (AONBs) will be exempt from the changes but it is to be hoped that planners in these areas will increasingly recognise that an expanding population of roofless, collapsing structures adds nothing to the beauty of the hillsides.
A good article on the subject here
