Neighbour wanting a front extension, not pleased.

Now you're just sounding spiteful, there's no need for that.

You're talking to a man who used to design major housing developments so that the social housing was clustered around the existing neighbours who had kicked up the biggest fuss at the public consultation events.

I'm still working on my letter of support...

We're not in Mansfield, that's a good 6 miles away. We're nearer Sherwood Forest...

That statement kind of says it all.

Hyacinth Bouquet, much?

Not at all. I wouldn't want anyone being under the misapprehension that we live in Mansfield. It's a dump. If you lived in Windsor would you like people to believe you live in Slough, after all, they're neighbours too.

No, I'd say Datchet, Eton or Dorney; Windsor's not that great a place

Have we had any info on if the OP built that rear extension, or if the 7 houses have been built on the site of the former social club next door?

If Nether Langwith is Sherwood Forest, then Brimington is in the Peak District. FFS. Comedy gold.

I stated it was NEARER Sherwood Forest than Mansfield, as that is the nearest well known landmark to us. Well, Creswell Crags is nearer us, but not as widely known about. We can drive to SF in 5-10 minutes. Mansfield is 20-25, so yes, it is nearer.

The rear extension (planning approved, and all others on our terrace benefit from rear extensions) is currently under construction.

The planning on the site of the former social club has lapsed. They have stated that they will be re-applying for planning at some point for 10 terrace town houses.

Ironically Southwell is increasingly becoming populated by aholes, with pretensions of grandeur. I didn't coin the phrase, but it is (all accepted) probably the best area of Notts to live.

You two seem to know your way around butt-plug toys, I couldn't possibly comment.

I wouldn't question your local knowledge, but let's take a look, then, at what - from your own examples - is apparently the very best that the County has to offer:





I mean, OK, it's not quite up there with the Brazilian Favelas, but if that's 'the jewel of Nottinghamshire'...

You are nearer to Shirebrook than either Mansfield or Sherwood Forest. Presumably you are referencing Budby forest rather than e.g. Clipstone. Budby forest is about 15 minutes away, Sherwood Forest say around Edwinstowe is a bit further away

Shirebrook that lovely place ex pit village now with massive Sports Direct warehouses and a Public Space Protection order. Still in the interest of balance Nether Langwith is a lot nicer than Shirebrook or Bolsover.

Still you'll just keep on digging, some of us know the area too well though.

These are approaching as cheap as any houses in the town. A tiny flat above a shop will cost you over £100k. The second house is over £300k, for a two bed terrace in the Midlands for crying out loud!

Find another house nicer than this one in Nottinghamshire, at the other end of the scale.

Yes, this is true. Shirebrook is nearer, but how many will have heard of it?! I referenced SF, as it's far nearer to us than Mansfield. We don't live in Mansfield, which in light of the fact that you know the area, you will be able to vouch for.

And Edwinstowe is 15 minutes away. We bought a table for S's allotment off ebay from there yesterday, we were there within 15 minutes.

As I said Budby forest is 15 minutes away, Edwinstowe slightly more. Sherwood Forest is not 5 minutes unless you are referencing some obscure bit of woodland that in days of yore might have been connected to SF.

Sorry but blatant snobbery cuts no ice. I live on the edge of a SSSI and nature reserve with ancient woodland across the garden fence, and an equestrian centre but one field away. Still got a set of drug dealing travellers down the lane, and got to go out later to shift the fly tipped builders rubble in the other direction.


Edited, not sure what happened with quoting there, hopefully fixed now.

I'm sure I stated 10-15 mins (which Edwinstowe is 15) to SF, and the only mention of it was that we are nearer there than Mansfield, which we are. All said, if I was being snobbish I'd have stated I'm from Southwell, which is true, but not up to date.

Going to leave this here and stop because it's just descending to pointless bickering now but you said "We can drive to SF in 5-10 minutes. "

Look up the page.

I did almost comment with a link to this thread, more for the neighbour's benefit than the Councils though.

[RBS Bob]

My neighbour wanted to build a 2 storey porch on the front of his house to extend their 3rd/box bedroom.

Thankfully, the council told him to fk off.

Would have been a fking eye saw!
