From: nick royall, [EMAIL PROTECTED] The neighbours of Richard Faulds have only won the right to appeal (again) on a technicality, not to have him shut down. Planning regs for clay pigeon shoots are fairly well laid down and easy to monitor and I would be suprised to find anyone giving permission a second thought. Most people who complain about such things tend to be people who move into an area without realising what goes on beforehand and then complain about an existing activity. The Faulds farm could carry on every day if they wanted to by moving the traps about so the same land is not used more than a dozen times a year. I go claybusting on a farm where organised shooting takes place and when a local golf club complained about the noise "some people" insisted on using the public footpath across the course all day every sunday as was their right so the golfers couldn't play at all. For anyone interested in measuring things just for the hell of it (pollution monitoring can be fun?) you will find that most peoples fridges make more noise than a clay pigeon shoot when measured from the average front room to their respective relevant distances, perhaps shooters should complain about that.
