Point taken Trevor, I'm of course looking from a UK perspective.
For the last fifty years I and others have walked with/without pet dogs around the fields of the farms we live and work on, now the new owners have said they wont allow this, they are within their rights to do so, but will be making enemies from potential friends (friends they might need to get the planning permission to modify farm buildings into houses ).
I attended a public Parish council meeting to discuss the passing of this planning application, none of the councillors declared any commercial interest although I know two definitely do have.
Struggling to make any connection with this to stainless wheel rims, so I better apologise, although you know what goes around comes around
