What happened at the meeting, was there a vote or decision made by a board ? Was it just a public hearing prior to a vote. What is the definition of "P.U.D." planned use district ? Here they use P.D.D. planned development district in comparison.
I interpret that the barn removal was contingent upon P.U.D. approval with the local municipality, did not work with the road for the new development being the reason, maybe a sightline/safety issue at the intersection, but the road has now been moved, meaning that problem was mitigated by moving the road ?
What is the current zoning of the property you rent right now ? I would assume it to not have changed, especially if the owner of the new development and the owner of the rental property are not the same, does the developer own that 2 acre parcel ?
Was there any official legal action condemning the barn due to the approval of the new development ?
If the property is not owned by the developer, and the zoning has not been changed for it, is it still an agricultural zone, or residential zone, or a zone that allows this kind of building, a barn in this case.
Something seems odd, they moved the road, and that was the initial reason for the barn to be removed, I'd quickly do as much research as possible, starting with the current owners files/records, county records deeds maps etc., zoning/planning board hearings, meeting minutes, local building code, and what it says for the current zoning of the parcel.
You can do a lot on your own to determine what you are up against, and a long drawn out scenario requiring an attorney may not be the best way to spend your money, you may find something that could be in your favor, you never know until you turn over all the information related to the situation.
Aesthetically speaking, does the barn stand out and not blend with the existing and or new development ? If so, those new residents will be your enemy, event though the place was there long before them. This is where things are backward, new residents become activists.
You really need to put all the facts on the table and make an assessment of where the issue stands in legal terms, and by all means do so before entering an agreement to purchase the land.
What you describe is exactly like a place I know of, where a subdivision was built behind an old barn, also next to a historic stone house from way back, both in decent condition, right on the road, would be a real shame to have them torn down because of new homes, they are adjacent to the road like msot places were back in the day.

Today's Featured Article - A Farmall Story - by Ed Meadors. The year was 1978. Our young family had recently moved to rural Chesapeake, Virginia to a plot of land which would finally allow us to realize our dreams of a huge garden, critters and more lawn and pasture than we would ever use!
