  • Would have been out shopping and generally pottering around, but a letter dropped through the letterbox from the local council, informing me that the dodgy developer who bought the garages next door has decided for the third time to apply for planning permission for a bunch of 3 storey houses in a position where they claim they will not overlook anyone, but I have worked out they will be able to see into Minion's bedroom, the kitchen and both bathrooms without any great effort on their part.

    Oh, and he seems to think that making my next door neighbour chuck away her fence will solve the issues of putting parking spaces at the front, right on top of our sewer outlet (which he coincidentally claimed he never gave permission for and has only just noticed, three years after these houses were given permission - I have ignored his letter demanding payment - if he wants to start litigating, he can flaming well pay and find out the freeholder's name himself - seeing as he dealt with them in the first place when they used the land in question to gain access to build this place)


    So I have been carefully completing an online planing objection to it. A couple of bungalows wouldn't have been an issue, but three three storey houses?



    Anyway, now I have done it (hope he gets refused again - I've looked up his details, despite his trying to hide them by forgetting to add his name and telephone number, and he is one of those who has a string of companies closed and opened under a different name the next morning), I shall nip out and try and cheer myself up. Honestly, I've just spent so much time trying to get the garden nice and then someone wants to take all the sunlight out of it and replace the blue sky and birds with a bloody great brisk wall! :mad:



    I think this calls for either sushi or copious quantities of Malaysian food!


    [stomps out]
    I could dream to wide extremes, I could do or die: I could yawn and be withdrawn and watch the world go by.
