  • THE Parish Council considered a revised planning application for Shedden’s barn at their July meeting. There has been some confusion about which Barn the application refers to as the nearby Harts Hill barn is prominent on the Horses Ash Skyline while Shedden’s Barn nestles at the head of the Listercombe Valley between Cooks Hill and Stowell crossroads and cannot be seen from Chedworth Village. The Parish Council has no objection to the application.
