Haygate field -- Harvesting the silage

Some of you will remember the dilemma over the purchase of the field for development ! Some months ago the field was earmarked and approves by the council to be used for a housing development . But in the last couple of months it came to our notice that the council had approved this site for housing when in fact they already had their quota of land available for development --- so !! the approval has been withdrawn and it will go through the whole business again. Again we have put in our objections to this development when in fact there are brown fields available to the council ! We are now waiting until July to hear the final verdict . Keeping our fingers crossed , but I just do not trust the council !!

[Rick Schies]

A busy time of the year

[Babs]

[Kerry McCarthy]

[wendy frost]

Lovely capture with the busy tractors.

[Paula W]

What a lovely pastoral scene. Fingers crossed you get to enjoy it for many years to come Beryl.

[Karin Hirsch]

Lovely scenery. Keep my fingers crossed it stays that way

[carol white]

A lovely countryside scene. Hope it doesn't get development approval

[Pyrrhula]

Great country scenery . A beautiful captured. Same problems in our country. Cities grows and grows. And the/our council loves it for this reason : they get more taxes from houses than from farmland (I think)

[Bep]

Lovely scenery, Beryl. Keeping my fingers crossed.

[Helen]

Lovely rural scene, which is sadly disappearing all over the country, my home town is now a mass of new housing, but without the roads & infrastructure to match !!

[Lynne Hart]

Such a lovely rural scene, it would be shame to build on it. Hopefully the Council will look more closely at brown field sites. Super shot Beryl.

[Pat Knowles]

Still hope for you yet then Beryl......you would much prefer to see tractors & balers I'm sure!

[Beryl Lloyd]

@happypat Yes -- stood in my bedroom window for ages watching all the activities ! and of course some shots of it all !!

[KWind]

Wonderful country scene! Nicely composed.

[Taffy]

Well done to put off the development for a bit longer. The tractors/trucks almost look like toys.

[Gena Pegg]

Great shot...love the rural scene. Nicely captured.

[Joyce]

Lovely seasonal shot Beryl. We have the similar problems with building on green land which is also part of the flood plane and that leads to disaster.

[Elsie T]

Lovely to be able to watch the farmers and seasons changing. Hope you are successful in your objections.

[Sue Cooper]

The news is good so far but I'll continue to keep my fingers and toes crossed for you.
This is a wonderfully old fashioned country scene. Well captured.
