Gary and Jess Yeomans described noise from music events as “just about bearable but irritating” but said increasing the number, size and frequency would “significantly impact our homelife” while Peter and Verity Rumsey said they had been “regularly disturbed” by music from the farm. Both couples also highlighted poor access from the road into the farm as reasons for their objections. The permanent licence is limited to midnight other than 6am finishes on Saturday and Sunday mornings. Mr Evans’ father and co-applicant, Edward, said they had also improved the barns used for most of the music events, that can include more than 250 people. They were in a terrible state when we took over and we put a lot of sound proofing in.
