No different to mixed housing being built at scale right behind our Gloucestershire Cotswold stone town. Locals hated it, still hate it, but planners forced it through anyway with consummate ease. Yet when we wanted to replace our extension - no new footprint, the planners put us through a year of hell before approval. And then building control forced changes to the foundations last week which will cost thousands more.
See, we can all claim the two tier thing and not a brown person in sight.
At the end of the day, we don’t have the ability to grease palms or produce brown envelopes. We’re local residents working with a small, high quality local builder.
