New development at the end of an unadopted road
Discussion

Your aim was what?
What can the developer do should the residents park badly.They do it now.
As it’s a sharp right turn of the lane occasionally locals prevent lorries getting into the road.
I’ve had to wait in the lane for lorries to unload and pallet the delivery up to their houses.
I
I'd be more concerned as a resident/owner of the unadopted/private road as to how much damage the trucks that are required to build 38 houses will do to it?
Assuming the the developer takes on 50% of the ownership of the road, due to doubling the size of the houses, that leaves the others with a potentially big build to rebuild it afterwards?
I have ZERO experience in this, but logic would say to me that I would either want to get the road adopted or ensure the developer leaves the road as he found it afterwards, or ensures that all 38 houses that he builds pay ground rent to ensure the road is maintained.
I would foresee big road bills in the future!!

The self-contradiction of OP several times on this thread is not just perplexing. The thread should be named "Room 12A".

Never met a NIMBY that didn't say "I don't mind development per se, it's just this particular development I object to 
Indeed our local nimbys are up in arms, "We need more local housing" [council puts local housing plan out] "No... not there!"carl_w said:

This plot suits 9 detached houses which residents would support but council want as many as possible as they only achieving 38% of housing needs
Presumably the residents support 9 as that is the maximum that can be built without having to provide a %age as affordable housing?Dingu said:
No wonder there is a lack of housing with such NIMBYs
More than enough houses. We don't need to build any more apart from the fact that it makes people lots of money so the developers give the back handers to the right people and it all carries on.The biggest problem is that houses are seen as investments rather than places to live and people are prepared to pay stupid money for them based on that reason.
Coventry is currently having about 2500 houses built one green belt on the way out to Birmingham yet a newspaper report said that nearly 3000 houses are sat empty in Coventry. So why does it need another 2500 houses destroying conuntryside?

35 new houses sounds much more appealing to me than a chicken processing plant as a neighbour
Our local Nimby Commando Regiment this week dropped a letter through the door (comic sans & clip-art) energetically rabble-rousing against 20-30 new houses and unfortunately let the mask slip when they described the developer as 'money-making'. stavers said:

It’s been empty for 30 yearsI agree I want housing there my concern is those that won’t have a car in the affordable housing must walk 1.3 km to get a pint of milk
To qualify for social housing you have to have pitfall wage

Make sure you put that in all your letters.
Your overarching concern for the down-trodden's access to milk will, unfortunately, mean protecting the value of your home, but life is a struggle.

Hemel Hempstead up the road have so many empty flats 250 immigrants were put in them 6 months ago The biggest problem is that houses are seen as investments rather than places to live and people are prepared to pay stupid money for them based on that reason.

Watford in the other direction is putting up 8,000 flats 27 storeys high they can’t sell them
Camden council London is shipping 1,200 out residents out as they’re knocking those s
te holes dow.These developments are not for locals.
