Dear local planning committee and all others concerned,
RE: Proposals to increase own income via property developments beneficially to the local community.
.1 Introduction to myself and reason for proposal.
My name is MR Michael Christou and I live and work at Moatlow Farm (GR 156 538). Farming in my area is becoming increasingly difficult. This is due to poor soil and the harsh climate. Also I am receiving much less income because of increase in cost of keeping my live stock and the decrease in their value at market.
.2 Please consider the above details when reviewing my proposals. (The following)
2.0 General explanation of my proposals (Of which there are three)
2.1 Development of out buildings into holiday accommodation.
Firstly I propose to make the appropriate alterations to some of my unused outbuildings. If I do so I will be able to accommodate tourists consequently earning a little extra income to pay for the keeping of my animals and giving tourists a quality experience of the peak district area, which will bring more money into the area and community.
2.2 Restriction of certain foot paths during lambing season.
My second proposal is that the public footpaths which cut through my land are closed for the period of time when the lambs are at a stage where if they are disturbed they are easily scared because this leads to them growing to be unhealthy. Although I agree that the general public has the right to be able to experience this scenic and peaceful environment, but if they carry on passing through my fields as regularly and in the great numbers that they do then, especially during lambing season, my income and the role I play within the community will be impaired.
