Lee just something to bear in mind - We had another business on the farm years ago, it ran for abour 20 years and was a proper viable concern with £thousands involved and 5 properties, anyway someone complained about noise so we had numerous independant sound levels tested and we actually went to court 7 times to defend the business, in the end someone against it stated that a dripping tap was not loud but could be one of the most annoying sounds possible, we lost the courtcase and lots of money so a word to the wise dont cling onto sounds levels as its not the be all and end all, we also had lots of charity events at the site but they didnt seem to care. Gimme a bell if i can be of help think youve got my no? We had full planning for the site mentioned above before it was constructed by the way, they are a law unto themselves. The council also cpo'd a load of barns of ours and built a road through them, two people have now been killed in rta's on that bit of road but thats another story
.
Goood luck with it.
