Hi all, The land owner has changed his mind and has stopped me putting the hives on his land so I am now considering putting the two hives in my own garden . This will no doubt create a nuisance complaint by the same complaining neighbour so I am looking to screen them off from view as far as...

I’m looking into this thank you

Funnily enough I had the same idea to draw out nuisance complaints whilst no bees there

I was thinking of putting half a dozen empty hives on if I get the all clear from enforcement to see if nuisance then becomes an issue with Council It would be good to see their faces when I explain that the stings are not from my bees as the hives are empty ! I have a small garden , how much...

I am so grateful for all this information and the time taken to inform me The bees will be on paddock which is grazing land so horses are fine already but is the other stuff in town and country planning ? Are they separate classes . I was once told grazing land can only be used for grazing?

Thank you for your help I will keep you updated

Thank you so much for your help The land historically had cows on it then fell into disrepair for twenty years New owners have cleared the land and reseeded Whilst putting up The stock fence a neighbour asked what we were doing and said he wasn’t happy . The complaint went in that afternoon...

Enforcement officer said gardens are fine

I will keep you all posted with the response from enforcement officer thank you

Thank you so much for your help Planning officer said a few hives recreational Many hives would be ok I’m trying to get together as much info to provide to him when he turns , being informed rather than picking a fight seems like the best initial response He also said chickens are recreational !
