A FARM dispute will be settled by an appeal hearing in Winchester.

Jacob Smith has appealed against the city council’s refusal to allow development at The Big Muddy Farm, Alma Lane, Upham.

Mr Smith wants to site a mobile home for an equestrian worker. An enforcement notice alleges that it is an unauthorised change of use.

The hearing will be at the City Offices in Colebrook Street, Winchester on February 24.
