My mother and her two neighbours(all 70+ years of age) live in 3 separate large bungalows on the site of our local county council (the bungalows are right on the edge of the plot at the start of the main access road) the current building is being ripped down in March 2012 and they are ‘planning 300 new houses’ on the grounds. (£300k+ private housing)
They are having meetings this week for local residence to look at the plans etc, my brother is going to have a gander tonight.
Last year when the scheme was in its infancy they said the 3 bungalows will not be effected apart from a bit of noise and dust as you would expect when ripping down a huge council office building, they said the houses would be nowhere near the bungalows and the access road would not be used for site traffic but an alternative road setup.
One of mums neighbours went up last night to have a look at the plans and the ‘show’ home and two other houses are going to be right on the road directly next to the boundary of his and mums house and the current main access road will be used for site traffic. When he pushed them for further info they were ‘very sketchy’.
Has anyone appealed against anything like this, I guess in the grand scheme of things it’s going to go ahead and there is **** all we can do?
But you must be able to appeal and atleast get compensation for noise and dust etc? Mum has stated she is not going to move and I can’t blame her but she is getting seriously stressed about it already and to be fair does not need this at her age especially after dad passing away.
Sorry for the long post!
Cheers
