Whilst in general, I do wholehartedly support the fact that historic farm buildings are to be protected, however, this does not go far enough. In the present climate, many farmhouses etc are being sold to people not connected with agriculture (as they are the only people with enough money to but these properties). These buildings need to be protected from this type of person who will in effect make the buildings redundant from their original purpose, not because they are unfit, but because they will let the land for grazing and the buildings will no longer have a use.
