Field behind our property will be a housing estate

I feel your pain - several years ago we had new housing built on the field that used to be behind our house. Our garden contains a lot of very large trees, and they built the new houses too close to our boundary, so we now get complaints about the trees blocking their light, acorns making lots of noise when they drop on their shed roofs and other similarly daft complaints.The trees were there when you bought the flaming houses !
This is our concern with the large tree at the end of the garden. What if someone moves in and then moans about some of the above? http://www.problemneighbours.co.uk/problems-with-n...

If the consent says that the trees remain then thats good, but keep yourself up to date with applications to vary conditions and submissions to discharge pre-commencement conditions, these are off most people's radar and things like a landscaping condition can be used to remove trees that people thought woul dbe staying.
Thanks for the advice. Will do.

The tree belongs to the landowner - and they can pretty much do what they want with it as long as it isn't subject to a preservation order. As somebody else suggested - plant some trees on your side of the boundary 
Indeed. It would be a shame. But like you say, nothing we can do about it.We'll try the preservation order and get planting.

It wasn't established when it was new. It was unnecessary, ugly, unwelcome, horrid, a blight, etc. Except it isn't any of those things now. It's your lovely house and nobody wants to knock it down any more.
What's different to the new ones in the field?
It wasn't part of a development cramming 169 other properties into the same, small area for a start.What's different to the new ones in the field?
The owner of a local fish and chip shop needed a house, so it was built (that trumps everything because we all need fish and chips).
As far as I'm aware (and I'm re-iterating this), it wasn't built at the end of anyone's garden. It was built an a road in-between a town and a village. Who would complain about that?

Join in. Buy as many Off Plan as a BTL as your finances will allow.
I hope the houses they build in the field are better than the buldings they put on an estate near the village. A gust of wind blew the top part of the walls out of two of them. Their response was it wasn't their responsbility to fix it, but they would do it anyway. The houses were only a few years old.

YTou can't accuse someone of being racist and then expect them not to debate it! Well, you can, but it's a bit stupid.
OP - feel for you, but we have a housing shortage, and they have to be built somewhere...
Suppose so. Oh well. I have some planting to get on with. OP - feel for you, but we have a housing shortage, and they have to be built somewhere...

The lesson for anyone purchasing a house overlooking fields; they may not be fields for ever.
OP - what sort of fields? I'm assuming not part of a working farm but just open space?
Working field. Has been worked by a farmer for the last few years we have been there.OP - what sort of fields? I'm assuming not part of a working farm but just open space?
I don't think the farmer was the sole owner of the field. When I investigated the planning application I noticed that his name, a local large solicitors or accounting firm and some other businesses were mentioned.

Spalding and most of the rest of Lincolnshire has had a large influx of Eastern Europeans, mostly Poles (I think) with the standard associated 'problems'. I suspect that the population growth behind this proposed development is largely down to these incomers, or at least that'll be the perception. The OP is clearly fed up with the whole situation but why did he need to use an adjective when he mentioned mini markets if there is no underlying xenophobia? I suspect he also believes that the "spit, urine, dog s
t and litter" is also a problem which has only arisen since the 'Europeans' started arriving.I asked a question. The OP hasn't answered it.
You did accuse me of being racist.
I said European mini markets because that is what they are. Some of them are even branded as being so. If they were all Polish, I would have said so.
Where did I say that the problem is related specifically to 'Europeans'?
And you accuse me of being dim? Wow.

Sorry but Spalding is going down hill because of economic decline and improved road links to bigger urban centres like Peterborough, not because of planning decisions. Also, wrt to retail, unless it is a change of use class, it's not a planning issue. The European mini marts have sprung up to serve the growing Eastern European community in and around Spalding
Good job I don't live in Spalding. surveyor said:
Nah Spalding is going down hill because it's a st-hole. And I live in Doncaster!
t-hole. And I live in Doncaster!
We moved down the road a few years ago because we got sick of the state of the place. Drove down there a few days ago to visit the vet we use and it looked even worse.
Pothole - this is purely because of the bloody immigrants.

I'd be gutted, buy a nice house in the country and some feckers essentially build a village around you.
I live in a new build and they had to build social housing mixed in as part of the deal, you can imagine how shocked I was to see the police breaking down the door of the property opposite looking for a nigerian that stabbed someone in his first week in the country, then there are the waynettas that wear dressing gowns all day while "avin a fag" outside their front doors. One particularly nice family puts their dining furniture in the front garden to sit on while they watch destiny destroy the flower beds.
Then it seems every other house is a BTL and are rented out to waynettas, last saturday a nice couple were fighting in the parking area, he was shouting at her to put the scissors down.
Good luck, I'm moving asap.
Oh dear.

We'll have a ditch and a few fences between us and the gits. I'm thinking of building a few sangars and placing some claymores in the ditch.

We don't have enough houses, they've got to build more somewhere...
There's a million of 'em sitting empty.I've been reading a little more into the planning for the build behind us. Every concern (and I mean literally everything) has been ignored. The agenda/minutes of the meeting state all of our rejections. However, the response to everything is that South Holland needs 5000 houses over the next few years so tough luck.
It seems that the '5000 houses' label is being used to quash anything we have questioned.
Also, the local education establishments have indicated that they would need £800,000 to find the places and infrastructure updates for the potential families that could be moving in. The planning committee have only asked for the £200,000.
I'm not a developer and I'm not a planner, so I may be wrong. But isn't that a little odd? The build is obviously going to happen, but it is highly annoying that every objection is overridden with a 'we need x amount of houses so tough' response.
