    That must be terrible, how do you manage?

    You cannot believe how bad it is!! Surrounded by hundreds of other 3 bed semis, nearly all with garages. Wish I hadn't demolished my garage, but OH wanted more garden and a new patio to replace the one we built an extension over.

    I used to live in a one bedroomed upstairs local authority flat with drug dealing neighbours in a high crime area but with work work and more work managed to get to were I am now so it is not snobbish to want the nicer things, I do not do drugs smoke have fancy cars take holadays abroad every year or any HP do you

    No but it is snobbish to denigrate 3 bed semis, which probably make up the majority of housing in the country. Hundreds of thousands were built in the suburbs of London and other towns/cities in the 1930s and are quite sought after.

    I also do not do drugs, smoke, have fancy cars, take foreign holidays every year, or have anything on HP. But I could if I wanted to.

  • The other point is can I object to a lower quality / value of house being built that will de-value mine and other excisting houses or is that just snob factor

    Reduction of your house value is not a valid ground for objecting to a planning application.
