Um ... me?

Can you come to my house and help with the cause?

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.

Nope - we developers can rehouse them

Over the years on various I have:

Relocated 30 plus bat colonies
hand removed and replanted 20,000 wild grape hyacinths
Relocated newts, toads, frogs
Built new badger sets
created suitable roosting sites for owls
seeded 30 plus acres of wild meadow
built 3 natutre reserves with lakes

etc

We can do the lot, land owner pays

The only thing we can't do is replcae anciant hedgerows and ancient woodland

I rather like you,as a developer, having read that.

Where do I get your job?

Job isn't up for grabs. i am s developer with a degree in ecology and nature conservation. We all have to do that sort of stuff to get developments through.

Oh dear. Hope you can get sorted soon.

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...

Pretty much. The issue is not one of housing shortage per se, more that there is a lack of housing available to owner-occupy.

I'd estimate each of the decision makers had a nice bonus drip in their lap before the permission was granted.

Property is a filthy business

Because everything is just like it is in the films.

I moved from this and lost a load of money doing so. I'm all for helping the poor but when they just spit in your face and make your life hell something needs to be done.

That article is about London not cities generally. London is unusual in comparison with other UK cities as it attracts much more international investment.

On top of that the article is scaremongering bks, which is pretty much what I would expect from the Guardian on the subject of development.

The simple fact is that the planning system is putting such a brake on development that we are miles away from delivering the volume of homes that the country needs.

If you look at affordable housing provision, it is very closely tied to market houdinv provision as by definition it has to be subsidised.

Yes.

But you can give it a miss if you want to.

ClaphamGT3 said:

Close.

And again, either can be given a miss.

It is a damn shame that empty houses can't be utilised.

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.

Never been. But everyone raves about it.

We used to live up your end of town, but we are outsiders now.

That reminds me. Saw you in your TVR last year and forgot to say what a lovely machine it is.
