| Priddy, Mendip Farmers Hunt Kennels at Underbarrow Farm, Somerset |
|
Angela Yeoman has purchased Underbarrow Farm and its 17 acres on behalf of the Mendip Farmers' Hunt.
Underbarrow Farm (formerly Walt Foxwell's smallholding) is within a few feet of The Bristol Exploration Club (BEC) headquarters and just a few hundred yards from several family homes. The frequently visited Priddy Mineries and the former St. Cuthbert's Leadworks are adjacent to the site and have been designated a Special Site of Scientific Interest (SSSi) to protect the rare species of flora and fauna known to thrive in this area. Additionally an important and popular ancient footpath (Monarch's Way) crosses in front of Underbarrow Farm and then runs parallel, in full view of the farm for several hundred metres. The whole of Priddy is in the Mendip Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB). The villagers of Priddy and people who enjoy visiting Priddy have set up CANINE to investigate the full implications of this proposal and the potential impact on the local community, the surrounding countryside and the wildlife. The planning application is imminent. If you have any issues you want to raise, or any questions about what you can do please get in touch. Be ready to act when the plans go in: Your letter to the council planning department will make a difference. Feel free to contact the whole of Mendip Planning board now to state objections.
