Are they going to build houses on the field?

Man Utd planned generation states

"This is more than a stadium regeneration this is a urban generation creating 90,000 new jobs"

That's nice. Upto 90,000 extra people commuting in every day?

Do this, at your peril.

I used to be the man doing the measuring, I would have told you it was the site for a new prison, secure hospital, motorway, industrial estate, recycling plant, sewage works, in fact any old guff that would be likely to enrage the local gossips.

Normally we were simply locating underground services.

Good Luck!

Ha, yup, done the same. Asylum seeker hotel, mental hospital, high security prison, traveller camp, pesticide control area - done all of those, mostly where the farmer was having a mobile phone mast installed in the far corner of the field a couple of hundred metres away from the nearest house.

When I was on my uni course survey camp in 1987 we had to survey part of a lane near Windemere. I told the American tourists the Japanese had bought the Lake District and wanted a roof on it to keep the rain off. I also told the woman festooned with Greenpeace badges that the pile casings being driven for Princes Quay shopping centre in Hull were going to take the nuclear missles from Greenham Common that were being "repatriated" at the time. Apparently there was a peace protest outside the job that weekend...

Yeah planning portal and/or local plan.

It’s surprising sometimes how oblivious people are to local goings on so don’t expect to hear off someone before it starts.


We’ve had some fancy pipey/drilly looking gear here recently lining old pipes to stop sewage and rainwater mixing/getting into waterways in heavy rain.

Or bore holes.

Or or or.



That nutrient balance thing on planning was also a bad thing overall to remove, as developments at least had a hope of being a bit more ecologically balanced/lower density etc.
Now we’ll be back to full-on concentration camp alike developments again.



I’d get together with other locals and buy field off farmer. Guaranteed green fields as long as you want them.

Local council officials fall weak at the knees when housing developer’s mention we want to make more houses, it’s like this for years all across England and nothing will change

No farmer in the country will sell a field where there is even a sniff of future housing development potential.

Every farmer in the country will sell a field if the price is right.

Indeed you’d have to pay the development value

You'd be surprised how determined some farmers are to keep their land in the family. Yes, some farmers do sell when they've had enough and near retirement want a world cruise, but many work the land until they drop, their intention to hand the land down.

With the inheritance tax thing it might make more sense to just sell it off now who knows.

I see the boomers are out.

No doubt the people whining about new house building definitely don't live in a post war house, a time when we were actually building lots of homes compared to now, and I'm sure it was never a field before a home and was definitely brownfield land.

And the whole 'they don't build infrastructure ' is BS. Firstly, they do, its called S106 obligations. But new homes doesn't necessarily mean more people. Are people not aware that we have hoards of 20 year old moving back in with parents because housing is unaffordable?

Pretty selfish to think you can control how a field you don't even own can and can't be used. (Thats not aimed at the OP by the way.)

In Wales, each council has a Local Development Plan in place which people can nominate land for (you don't have to own it) and the council roughly set out their house building agenda. That's every 5 years I think.

And then obviously you get different types of planning applications. A large development won't submit a planning application until public consultation is done.

Do you live in a house, flat or bungalow?

The land your home sits on used to be a greenfield.

Why is it ok got you to have a suitable home but not for others?

Yes the standard of living can drop waaaay lower, don't know why I'm complaining.

You certainly didn’t answer the question. But we’re very happy to spout hyperbole.

Alright well where is your limit? Would you be happy with tower blocks surrounding your house? I enjoy not having other peoples houses in my view from the garden, so I don't want new ones being built there. If you're OK with that then fine, I'm not, I am losing out if they build a new estate there.
