Letter: Attractions of the farm shed

Sir: Doesn't Roger Hawkins realise ('Will farmers build temples? Pigs might fly' 10 March) that if we let planners get their improving hands on agricultural buildings, our farms will end up looking like business parks or out-of-town shopping centres, complete with 'landscaping' and imitation clock towers?

The sheds he abhors are the last decent, honest buildings left in this country, which is now littered with the pretentious results

of well-intentioned planners'

interventions.

Yours faithfully,
