We have been refused planning permission from North Yorkshire Council for our Sheep Housing Building / Food & Hay Store on our land at our small holding at Aislaby View, Sleights. This is a new shed that will be built cladded to fit in with the surrounding picturesque landscape of Eskdaleside. It will replace current old and dilapidated sheds - which are an eyesore to passers by and neighbours.

We breed prize-winning Pedigree Suffolk & Texel sheep are well cared for to an outstanding standard and the shed will be used to lamb them in, provide shelter in winter and store hay and straw in. There has been sheep and livestock on this land for over 50 years.

All our 7 neighbours and other members of the Parish have wrote letters in favour of our planning, we also have the favour of the local Parish Council and the National Parks, yet despite ALL of this, North Yorkshire Council have still refused. We now will take it to Appeal.

Please support British Farming and the Breeding of High Quality / High Welfare Livestock and sign our petition.

Thank you,

Dan & Leah
(And all the Haldane Flock) X
