SC traps on Ebay

Yeah, farm buildings under a certain size, but defo not dwellings or houses!!!

There was a dude near Edinburgh who built a house without permission, moved in, tried to get retrospective permission, house got demolished!!!

Yep we built a barn type thing to store tractor and jcb etc but there were caveats on size and if sides were open or not. Bloke owns stables next to our caravan site applied to build bungalow were his tack building is. It was rejected as within two hundred metres of a main gas line which was installed fifteen years ago. No idea why that's a problem it's at least hundred metres away and cannot possibly effect the pipe.

Bloke other side of our site bought the feild and installed wooden pre fab stables. Was told by council he had to take it down so as James says it's not as easy as you may believe even for farm land.

Don't know of him James but I do know a farmer at East Calder who, it is said, did build a house without planning and he still lives there! Now I say it is said because the person who said he did not was not his greatest friend I think what he definitely did do, and I am told this is without argument, was build it where it should not have been and we are talking hundreds of yards not feet!! But it is still there exactly where he built it.

The one in East Calder had lived in the house over 10 years before the local authorities found out he'd built it, there's a loop hole that says that if nobody has complained/lettered/taken to court within 10 years, then you can apply for retrospective planning and pay back dated council tax ect...

Remember the farmer who built the house, surrounded by straw bales? The bales blew down during a storm before the magic 10 years, revealing the house to all, people complained, council refused his retrospective planning application, the house was bulldozed...

James if that's the house/castle which was built inside a barn surrounded by hay bales you are referring too then it's still standing . I live very close to it . He took down the barn/bales himself to reveal this unusual but nice structure . Construction was started in 2001 I believe . It appears in the local paper now and again when it goes to the next stage of the appeals process but it's still there .

May be its time to rearrange the sport and go indoors !!  Look on you tube for in door trap shooting.

Shooting all year round. No weather  to worry about,light can be controlled, noise wouldn't  be an

issue. Easy to clean up, recycle everything. :crazy:   :crazy:

Right wheres those old aircraft hangers.  reved:

Yes Gaz, we've discussed this before! By going inside, like that setup in Germany, it would solve a lot of problems! There would be a constant light level, constant temperature, no wind, no pollution of any sort. In fact I think the one in Germany does all sorts of shooting, not just clays! An indoor shooting ground could be on an industrial estate, so it would just blend in with the awful surroundings! The main problem is MONEY!!!! Who could put up the sort of money that it would cost?  We are not short of land in this country as we both know, however we have laws which make it possible for just one person to shut down a ground at little ot no cost to themselves, this situation is just a farce! We have a lot of military land in the UK which is either not used or used little, I wonder if our governing bodies have ever considered asking the government for help in using some of those sites. OK we would have to work around the times when the military wanted to use them, but it's not impossible!!! I often wonder if our governing bodies give any thought at all to the future of our sport, it's no good having bloody training schemes and wot not, if the buggers have nowhere left to shoot! Anyway I will get off my soapbox now!
