Why did this bullying begin?...

In the spring of 2017, I bought a property in Tay Valley Township (TVT) with the goal of establishing a not-for-profit children’s forest school. Before purchasing the property, I contacted Tay Valley Township, TVT, in writing to explain the project, and I was informed that the property is zoned Commercial “C,” and the forest school would fall under “Community Service” or “Recreation,” therefore the project would be compliant. The purchase went ahead. I was granted the necessary permits, and I invested over $140,000 into setting up Blueberry Creek Forest School and Nature Centre. A building on the property that had previously operated as a Bed and Breakfast became an Airbnb hotel, with revenues funding the school. By the end of 2017, there was a sudden reversal of the township’s support for the project, and a pattern of harassment began.
