A high-flying lawyer has been told she is "not automatically entitled to peace and quiet" at her £1.3 million country home by a judge as she lost a bitter neighbour dispute.
Zoe Bucknell clashed with game-shooting pedigree beef farmer Mark Stoneham over his plans to convert a barn into two houses next door to her farmhouse in Kent, while using her drive as access for heavy construction traffic.
The corporate lawyer, a keen horse rider with her own stables at home, said "noise disturbance, vibration (and) fumes" from traffic passing up the 55 metre driveway past her "quiet and secluded forever home" posed a threat not just to her peace but to the fabric of the driveway and the home itself.
