Sounds like Old Mate’s trampled on a bunch of council rules then decided he didn’t need to follow the court orders about said trampling. He had years to work it out and didn’t. The language barrier is no excuse at all.

This is one of those “if everybody did that” rules. Sure, it’s irksome to be told what you can or can not do in the privacy of your own home. However, if everybody set up a cottage industry in their back yard it would cause obvious problems.
If a neighbor complained, there’s a good chance there were odors or pests or whatever. Case in point really.

At the risk of sounding stupid, what would the problems caused by a large number of people making their own cheese be?

Making your own cheese is fine. Making commercial quantities is problematic. Mostly related to hygiene, but also quiet enjoyment of neighbours.

It would attract Dutch people.

It would undermine the capital leverage of the ruling class, obviously.

Small scale domestic cheese production would be fine. I doubt this article and $120k fine are for a small scale operation.
