'Grand Designs-style' barn in Herefordshire leads to hilltop protest

Objectors say so-called shed near Black Hill was built to take advantage of the views

People who live in one of England's most beautiful valleys are taking to the hills to protest against a new structure that its owners say is a barn but which critics fear is going to be turned into a country retreat.

The structure has been built about half a mile from the summit of the Black Hill in Herefordshire, on slopes owned by the artist Christopher Brooks, brother of the racehorse trainer Charlie Brooks and brother-in-law of the former tabloid editor Rebekah Brooks.
